honeybee_plus.radiance.recipe.recipeutil module

A collection of useful methods for recipes.

honeybee_plus.radiance.recipe.recipeutil.glz_srf_to_window_group()

Create a named tuple that looks like window groups for glazing surfaces.

This is neccessary to work with normal glazing just like window groups.

honeybee_plus.radiance.recipe.recipeutil.input_srfs_to_rad_files(in_srfs)

separate input honeybee surfaces to RadFiles based on type.

This function analyzes a collection of input honeybee surfaces and returns 3 rad_file like objecs for opaque, glazing and tuple(window groups).

honeybee_plus.radiance.recipe.recipeutil.write_extra_files(rad_scene, target_dir, add_blacked=False)

Copy additionl files from rad_scenes to working_dir.

Parameters

• rad_scene – A RadScene object.

• target_dir – Target study folder. The files will be copied under extra.

• add_blacked – Set to True to add the blacked radiance file to the same folder. The file will be named *_blacked.rad.

• named tuple for each RadFile as (A) –

• returns the file path to the list of original radiance files. (fp) –

• returns the file path to the list of blacked radiance files. (fpblk) –

honeybee_plus.radiance.recipe.recipeutil.write_rad_files(scene_folder, project_name, opq, glz, wgs)

Write files to a target directory.

This method should only be used for daylight coefficeint and multi-phase daylight simulations. The files will be written under

scene_folder/opaque scene_folder/glazing scene_folder/wgroup

If any of the surfaces has BSDF material the xml file will be copied under scene_folder/*/bsdf and the path to the material will be modified to the new path.

Parameters

• scene_folder – Path to working directory.

• opq – A RadFile for opaque surfaces.

• glz – A RadFile for glazing surfaces.

• wgs – A collection of RadFiles for window-groups.

Returns

Return 3 list for radiance files for opaque, glz and window groups. The list for windowgroups will be a list of lists for each window group and its states.
