Daylighting control via additional string in HB 1.1

[chris]

@sunarywend ,

You can hard-assign the EnergyPlus ID of the Honeybee object (like a room) like so:

Change name the output of component

What you said isn’t entirely correct, @Mohammad.hakim.a . The display_name property of the object is set to be the exact same as the _name input and this is intended to be a human-readable way to identify the object you have made. However, all honeybee objects also have a unique identifier, which follows the object though the simulation engines and is what’s used by the rest of the software to uniquely identify the object. You raise a good point, which is that, if we are going to expose somet…

So this will ensure the E+ Room ID always matched the hard-coded text in your additional string.

Alternatively, you can get the ID of the room using the “LB Label Rooms” component and write that into your additional string but I realize this will take a few more Grasshopper components.
