files (.EPW) into Grasshopper and provides a variety of 3D interactive graphics
to support the decision-making process during the initial stages of design. The
plugin also provides further support for designers as they test their initial
design options with radiation, sunlight-hour, and shading analyses. Integration
with Grasshopper allows for an almost instantaneous feedback and, since the
plugin runs within the design environment, the information and analyses are
interactive.</span><span style="font-family:Arial,sans-serif"></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:0.0001pt"> </p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:0.0001pt;background-image:initial;background-repeat:initial">
<span style="font-size:10pt;color:black">Honeybee connects Grasshopper3D to EnergyPlus,
Radiance, Daysim and OpenStudio for building energy and daylighting simulation.
The Honeybee project intends to make many of the features of these
simulation tools available in a parametric way. Just as users have made
changes to geometry for years in Grasshopper, now users can parameterize system
types, zoning schemes, schedules of operation, daylight sensor placement and
controls - all of the “hardcore” simulation parameters that have never
been exposed to parametric modeling tools.</span><span style="font-family:Arial,sans-serif"></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:0.0001pt"><span style="background-image:initial;background-repeat:initial"><br>
