Honeybee energy analysis model in grasshopper

Hi,
I am doing an energy analysis for a residence in Grasshopper. I have input the model in Grasshopper using honeybee create. The Model has two floors, I have intersected the floors and have tried to solve the adjacency of rooms. I got almost everything correct expect the corridor in first floor which is showing as “air_wall” instead of “interior_floors”. I have tried sorting the issue but I keep getting new problems when i solve that. I have uploaded the best output I can get. The only problem in the uploaded model is the first floor corridor which i want to be “interior_floors” instead of “air_walls”.
I have uploaded the model,script and image for reference. Kindly help me with the issue.

Hi @Pranav_Prasad ,

Just to be sure I understand: you would like the walls of that central room to be ‘Air Walls’, but the floor to be Surface? If that is the case, you might be better off using something like the HB Properties by Guide Surface, and creating a guide-surface then setting the properties for those faces explicitly.


Also, just a bit of un-asked-for-advice :wink: , just in case it is helpful: if you name your Breps back in Rhino, you can pull them into Grasshopper and get the names using the Content Details component, which can help simplify your GH setups quite a bit:

In this case you could build all your HB-Rooms in just a few components, which may help you organize things.

best,

Hi @edpmay ,
Thanks for the reply. I don’t want all the walls to be Air walls, only those connecting the corridor-ff to staircase-ff and OTS. The remaining walls as normal interior walls and the floor is to be under interior_floors. Currently, the floor is showing under the air_walls.I dont want that. I am doing some error in hb adjacency which i am not able to find out. Maybe in the order I am doing adjacency solver.

Kind note : The model has all the outer walls, inner walls, air walls, roof, floor as I needed. Only problem is the floor of Corridor-ff for which it is showing as air_walls instead of interior_floors. I only need it to be solved.
I have aatched the file for the reference.

And also thanks for the content details input i will definetly try to add it to this script.

Hi,
I have solved the corridor problem. It was the order of adjacency. But I got a new problem when I did that. On the final step of the process while linking the last room to the adjacency I am getting one extra exterior wall over the interior wall. The interior wall is also there which is correct. I don’t know how to rectify the exterior wall issue. Kindly help with that. I have attached the issue’s images for reference and an updated script.
