Is there any chance that you can put what you have started into the Google Slides document that I shared with you that has the updated plugin diagrams for Ladybug + Honeybee? It seems that we might need a butterfly diagram for this upcoming release and it would be great to start from what you have.
For example, I know that paper will usually start to blow around at 1 m/s and this is the general rule of thumb that I have used to asses when indoor wind intensity is too great.įinally, I have one request based on your post: I see that you are starting to put together a plugin diagram for Butterfly. The component descriptions are very clear about what the categories mean and I wonder if there should be one more category for cases where you really need the wind intensity to be low. Especially given the fact that you are building up the categories from a wind factor file, this component seems much better fit in Butterfly.Īlso, I have one suggestion with the comfort categories.
Along these lines, I was wondering why you opened this issue on the Ladybug github instead of the Butterfly github. This looks is very awesome! Thanks for putting this together and we definitely need something in Butterfly that informs us of when the wind intensity of wind is too strong. Component's "pedestrianComfortCategory" output explains in detail each of comfort categories, and the purpose to which it corresponds. The cfd simulation would then be repeated. If an architect has proposed an entrance at that point, certain objects need to be placed around it to mitigate the effect of the wind. The "Pedestrian wind comfort" component uses the results of the cfd simulation to perform an analysis of the mechanical (wind) comfort, not thermal comfort:Įach comfort category corresponds to certain activity and purpose of the location.įor example, the upper comfort category 2 (yellow color) would not be suitable for building entrances nor exits as the wind threshold in that area would be exceeded. thanks for sharing! How does this differs from the one that and are developing. Here is a quote from this look very nice. Liam Harrington for the help and advises in developing it Independently from the Butterfly components it can import wind factors from any other cfd application (Ansys, Tecplot 360, SolidWorks.), but it is convenient as well to release it into the public as Butterfly components are closing to its release. This is a quote from the upper I would like to share a small Ladybug component: "Pedestrian wind comfort".īased on the wind factors it will perform an analysis of the wind comfort and safety of pedestrians at the location: I am opening this topic due to suggestion by Mostapha at the Buttefly github discussion about the incoming Butterfly components.
