Announcement: Wind Pressure Coefficients-Integrated Building Energy Modeling Workflow Launched!

Success!

I reverted to your original model.

That model did not have any context geometry. So I added Two blocks.

This then was updated to match my current LBT installation 1.8.76 (running the Ladybug Sync operation)

AND

I replaced all the Eddy3D components with the latest 0.4.15.2 version one by one (I have left the older ones in place while testing

Then I was able to run the two EnergyPlus models (with and without AirFlow Network driven by wind pressures)

The right hand numbers are enhanced by the Wind Pressure Coefficients - why the heating EUI is lower there is a puzzle, but they ran! So now for the excitement of design exploration to explore this.

I attach the WIP of the updated file.

NOTE: I have here used your more complex building model in the gh file you distributed. I had in my original post incorporated a copy of what I had developed as the test of the Eddy3D template - trying to take baby steps from their simple blocks to what seemed your more complex demonstration.

Next step is my own geometry / model. I do like the fact that - if the data is generated by CFD, it remains available for all subsequent E+ runs

Thank you so much for this.
