How to Run Energy Balance in R7 and Updated HB/LB Tools

Hi all,

I’m quite new to GH (and LB/HB), and am looking to run Energy Balance and Indoor Microclimate visualizations using (and learning with) the latest versions of Rhino and the plugins. I am only finding components from HB legacy: Honeybee_Microclimate Map Analysis and Honeybee_Construct Energy Balance, both from v.66. As we are working with HB rooms now, what is the best way to run these analyses? Is there a resource that I could be referred to to use for understanding these newer components and how they interact with HBRooms?

Much appreciated,

Skyler

Hi @sjohnson,

Here an old example chris made. Microclimate maps can only be generated with the legacy versions.
Indoor_Microclimate_Map.gh (763.8 KB)
And here you can find the example for an energy balance.

@Erikbeeren,

Thanks for the reply. I’ll try those out. Like the microclimate maps, can energy balance simulations and charts only be ran/generated from legacy versions?

@sjohnson
No, with the LBT you can also generate an energy balance of the project.
