Simulating Building Exterior Heat Emission

Hi there,

Is there a way to simulate how much heat does a building volume radiate to the exterior public space based on exterior surfaces Surface Reflection Index? Id like to test and design parametrically a building form the optimizes this.

Thanks!

Maybe you mean solar radiation analysis？

Yes, I know there is that on ladybug. But it doesnt account for the material properties. Does it account for reflected radiation/light for example?

You should look at the HB radiation analysis option.
Look in hydra for examples.
