Continuing the discussion from Building Energy Performance / Twin House:
Hi @chris,
I have downloaded the new Honeybee.
It really looks good.
In a previous post (see link above) you mentioned that other side coefficients would be possible to ad to constructions with this new version.
Hey @Erikbeeren ,
It is still under development but I know exactly how it should be implemented (and how it should be exposed on Grasshopper components). I opened an issue that you can use to track if I make any progress on it:
There are some other higher priority things I need to tackle first but I’ll get to this eventually.
Hey @Erikbeeren ,
2 years is a long time to wait for this so I’m going to see if I can implement it quickly today. Just to make sure that what I am implementing will be able to satisfy your needs, I’m planning to only expose the following parameters, which will both be optional:
If the constant temperature is not provided, the outdoor temperature will be used. If the convective/radiant coefficient is not provided, it will be set to zero.
If this those two parameters are all you need, I should have it by the end of today. Otherwise, if you badly needed some of the other inputs, I could probably add them except for the temperature schedule, which would really complicate things (for that, I would just write a custom post-processing component with the OpenStudio SDK).
Your wish has been granted:
You’ll be able to get the new capabilities and component with the LB Versioner in an hour or so. After that, you’ll be able to create boundary conditions with a constant temperature on the other side, which you can assign to Honeybee Faces like so:

Enjoy!
