Can HB analyze building energy impact by changing ground material?

[Juhyung]

Hi everyone,

I’m currently working on a project using HoneyBee, and I’m wondering if it’s possible to analyze the impact of changing ground materials on building energy performance. Specifically, I’m looking to assess how different ground materials influence the surrounding environment and their effect on energy consumption.

If this is feasible, could you please guide me on which component or workflow I should use in HoneyBee to achieve this?

Thank you in advance for your help!

hi @Juhyung here is a general workflow for adding ground to your model:

the inputs for the mat component come from chatgpt so take them with a grain of salt.

I’ll give it a try. Thank you for your help!
