I have found Ladybug+Honeybee tools very helpful for my academic/research projects. However, I’m wondering how I could best prepare citations for academic/research tasks.
Could you please answer the following questions?
Ladybug tools’ tips and defaults of settings:
Some tips on some components inputs refer to standards (e.g. ASHRAE standards) or some general facts in thermodynamics, mechanical engineering, etc. In some cases it’s not easy to find the reference publications/evidences. How could those values/parameters be justified within the context of academic research? What’s your suggestion?
Reference tools calibration:
How reliable are the functions run by external engines (e.g. energyplus)? Which ones are already calibrated to reflect the real conditions and which ones aren’t?
(Maybe I should ask this question in other forums (e.g. UnmetHours) ?)
Thank you
