I’m using the component Honeybee_Glazing based on ratio to create the windows of my building. The problem is that I need to change the height of the windows according to the heights of each floor.
I know that the component takes the Windows heights according to the orientation of building’s facades but i don’t know how i can make them changing also by floor.
Plus I don’t know why, even if the option “breakUpWindow” is active, the windows of some faces appear as an unique horizontal glass.
You need to use Grasshopper data trees for this. Essentially, you want to separate the Honeybee Zones by floor using the “Honeybee Separate Zoned by Floor” component and then graft the input to the windowHeight_ input.
It looks like the 70% glazing is too large of a ratio such that trying to meet that and the input window height is taking precedence over the horizontal subdivision into smaller windows. Try lowering your glazing ratio. Also, if those window heights are in meters, make sure that your Rhino model is in meters.
I will try to use the component “Honeybee Separate Zoned by Floor” to see how it will work
About the percentage of glazing you are right, 70% it’s too large.
I wanted to thank you for your advice. Now the model works well.
The only thing is that when I launch the E+ analysis to the whole building (or even just to one foor), it takes a very long time to calculate the results. Do you know a way to reduce the calculation time?
Consider that the model has been created with these components
