Thank you as always @chris
Chris, is there any update on when 3 and 5 way phase recipes will be implemented? Do you have any guidance on how to model a dynamic shading system without these recipes? I am trying to create a model the calculates sDA and ASE based on IES LM-83. Thanks!
All I can say is “soon.” It might not be the next stable release in a couple of weeks but, if not, it should be the one after. We know how to do it and the final challenge that we’ve almost overcome is making the methods scale-able so that you can run it for a study larger than a few rooms and not run out of memory. You can always use the older Honeybee[+] 0.0.6 if you need to get ASE and sDA for a few rooms.
We will definitely be offering this as a recipe on Pollination for users who purchase a subscription. You probably should not be using 3 or 5 phase to model ASE since the BSDF will kill the ability to model the direct sun accurately. We’ll be modeling the direct sun correctly when we offer the recipe on Pollination.
