Hi all, I was comparing some of the latest studies using UWG (Aiko Nakano, 2015; Jiachen Mao, 2017; Jiachen Mao, 2018) with the dragonfly plugin and I got a few general questions regarding the inputs required: 1 - As I understood, some of the inputs required by UWG are made as constant and not pos…

@lguilhermers , sorry for the late response. Here’s some initial anwers: 1 - As I understood, some of the inputs required by UWG are made as constant and not possible to change in DF, supposedly because they are not as straightforward as the current parameters. According to Nakano’s thesis some of…

@lguilhermers , Here are my thoughts: 1 | 3 - For parameters that are not currently exposed on Dragonfly, you have three options. The first (which I would recommend you start with) is just to add any extra parameters that you want to change to this part of the code in the “Run Urban Weather Gener…

@SaeranVasanthakumar and @chris , Thanks so much for the complete replies. It not only gave me an idea how to work with the source codes, but also how the software is structured in general. Looking forward for the future upgrades and congratulations for the good work with the tool. One quick questi…

@lguilhermers The plan is to introduce more fields for customization with the next releases, the initial release just included the parameters that were deemed most critical. Note on the green roof: I just did a quick survey of the code and it looks like wall elements don’t have an option to model …

Thank you for the further clarification, @SaeranVasanthakumar ! I will take a look on the parts of the code you sent. The green wall is not necessarily critical for my studies, but I was trying to follow the changes done from the Matlab version and confirm that I am having a correct interpretation o…

Hi all, First of all thank you very much for your work, you guys are awesome! I’m looking to create my own “Building program” to do a simulation on DragonFly and I wonder if the technique cited here is possible today. [image] chris: Essentially, anything that you could assign to a honeybee zo…

@mparis , All of the infrastructure to create programs and assign them to dragonfly objects is in place for the latest [+] plugins that are under development. But we haven’t done an official release of these latest [+] plugins yet and, at the moment, the newest Dragonfly[+] only connects to EnergyP…

Thank you for your quick answer! I’m not sure I understand this sentence correctly : [image] chris: the newest Dragonfly[+] only connects to EnergyPlus Does this mean that I can define my building programs using Energy + components in the style of your “Full Building Energy Simulation”? ( Hy…

Yes, you’ll be able to define energy simulation programs and apply them to Dragonfly objects. These Dragonfly objects can be exported to OpenStudio/EnergyPlus and our plan is to also make the programs translate-able to UWG format. We’ll probably release a version with the energy capabilities on the…

Hi @SaeranVasanthakumar , I need to convert the airport to an urban epw file for running the UTCI analysis. Thanks for the amazing dragonfly, but I still have two questions about UWG 0.0.03 - (1) where can I check the thermal specification behind these preset building programs and ages? e.g., COP, in…
