Thank you.

Your welcome. I think there are many thinks one can consider- pv panels are one option, I think one can also think about how much offset distance one wants for pv panels / or just rainscreen claddings given those are will be radiating heat during peak hours. Rainscreens are designed to let air through the back of the panels for keeping moisture off the walls so one can think about natural ventilation strategies that are integrated in the system depth of facade components as well I think. In general I think pv panels work the best on the roof and the analysis also seems to say that.

Thank you for the reply.
In what way do you plan to use the radiation results for facade design? Checking for shading areas, photovoltaic panels?

I have translated the annual radiation analysis result from the ladybug.

They are actually not the radiation results per se- because they are interpolated.

ladybug radiation analysis analyse center points of mesh faces. what you see are from mesh vertex. what I liked about using the vertices is that the vertexes line up with surface panelization grid. but there are problems with using the vertices and it ends up taking too much ram to do the necessary stuff.

I am working on facade detailing based on radiation result- so the circles and gradient lines are some ways to visualize simulation result but also to think about how one might design a unitized or a semi unitized facade components based on the results. 

I still have to separate the values, the test points and their normal vectors by what brep faces they are on- mostapha says he can help so I hope I can result this soonish.

Ok, but what do all this circles and gradient lines (on this photo) represent?

hi djordje its design research for a mixed use in california. content for exhibition basically.

Interesting. What is this?
