Light Tube/ Duct using Honeybee

[snoringpanda96]

Hi, I was trying to simulate the effects of light tube using the script from https://github.com/sariths/honeybee/blob/3fb53721c62da99bdea180add75edde15d351020/testPmap.py. It uses the Photo Map method. However, the GHPython Script component returned an error of ‘1. Solution exception:cannot import radiance from honeybee’. Would like to know if there is an ‘easier’ way of simulating light tube instead of using Three Phase/ Five Phase since I am not familiar with the command line method.

Thank you.

The honeybee package that @sarith used at that link is now called honeybee_plus. So maybe changing the import statements to that will get it to work.

You can always do it using detailed geometry and a lot of -ab. The simulation will take longer than 3-Phase but the model setup will probably be more straightforward.
