Hi @chris,
Hope you’re doing great. I wish you could have a look at a question I posted about an old topic that still applies to the current LBT. It’s making me doubt about the results and how to apply them correctly, so I cannot continue without solving it. It’s about using the LB Adaptive Comfort component vs HB Adaptive Comfort Map: https://discourse.ladybug.tools/t/which-adaptive-comfort-component-is-best-for-optimization/15966
Thank you in advance!
Hey @mg ,
There isn’t really enough information on that old post to give you a definitive answer to your question of “Do you have any clue?”
If you can turn your question into something more specific that follows the forum guidelines, ideally with a simple example file that recreates the thing that you have a question about, we would be able to better help you.
Hi @chris ,
Thank you for your reply, and sorry for not explaining myself properly, it was my first participation in the forum. Hope it’s a bit clearer now: I made the model simpler, it’s in the Southern Hemisphere, I put only one room, with the doors in red and windows in light blue:
Trying the 2 workflows to simulate the comfort levels (1. HBModelToOSM - LB Adaptive Comfort / 2. HB Adaptive Comfort Map), I got these different results:
From what I can see, the percentages of time feeling comfort, hot or cold between the 2 workflows is significantly different: Comfort time 11% vs 25%, Hot time 15% vs >30%, Cold time 72% vs <45%.
I don’t know if there’re more considerations apart from the sun falling on occupants taken into account in the 2nd workflow. I tried also the same model but with no windows, and it’s still very different between both:
I’m attaching the Grasshopper file just in case. Maybe I made some mistakes, I’m still in pretty early stages learning about Ladybug Tools.
My questions are: What would be the reasons for these significant differences? What workflow would you suggest to use, that is closer to reality?
Please let me know if you want me to be more specific.
Thank you in advance!
