Title: Help: Heat Load Calculation for Ground-Floor Building + Custom Wall Construction + CSV & Visualization

Hi everyone,
I want help to calculate per-room heat loads for a ground-floor structure using Ladybug + Honeybee. The building has multiple rooms/zones, and I need:

  1. Heat load (cooling/heating) per zone
  2. CSV export of hourly loads
  3. Visual color-map of heat loads on the model

Wall construction example I want to define:

35 mm cement plaster
150 mm block wall
15 mm cement plaster

I need help with:

How to correctly create this layered construction in Honeybee
Workflow to: create zones → assign construction → run Energy Plus → extract Ideal Loads → export as CSV → visualize peak loads
Which outputs I must request from Honeybee for hourly heating/cooling load per zone
Any sample GH script or recommended material properties for cement plaster + block wall

help will be appreciated

i am using ladybug 1.9 version and open studio 3.8 and rhino 8

I do recommend checking some of the samples included in the LBT package. Like so:
