How to change units

Hello Mostapha and all,

I’ve started using Ladybug and Honeybee and they’re terrific!

But I can’t seem to find a way to change units in variety of analyses in Ladybug, for example switching the temperature unit from Celsius to Fahrenheit.

Can someone let me know?

Thank you!

Easy one,

In LB look for the group number 4. There is a group of components to convert different unit types.

Thank you for your quick answer, Abraham!

I totally missed it.

Abraham hit it on the nail. It’s in the last group in the very last panel. There are converters there between Farenheight and Celcius, watts/square meter and BTU/ sqft, and hour of year and date. Let us know if there are any converters that you feel are particularly important that we should include there.

M/s to mph would be nice. I tried to convert it using a multiplication. I separated the numbers from the strings. Then multiplied the numbers by .23694. How to I recombine the numbers so the wind rose component accepts the new values?

Here you go!

Wow, thank you sir!

The link leads to a page that says the link is private or the page is missing.

What’s the current mechanism to convert units to the ones you want to show (hourly instead of per-second wind speeds, so more users have a sense of the scale of the speed, and a comparison to the definitions of storm categories, which are in per-hour measurements)?

Thanks in advance!
