algorithmic modeling for Rhino

Hi Everybody,

I am studying the LB and HB, I can use "Honeybee_addHBGlz" to add glass of windows, but I dont know how to add frame of windows to wall.

Can I get some helping from someone, thanks advance.

Hi,

Can you not use a U-value that accounts for the frame as well?

Hi Devang,

Thank you for your reply,

I am not sure whether I understood your means, it seems your suggestion is that: calculate the U value of whole windows which includes glass and frame, then set the U value of glass in LB and HB according to the calculation result. if so, I think it is a tedious process at sometime, 

Is my understood correct.

Solon.

Solon,

You understood me perfectly. That is a precise way to go about it. LBNL Windows Tool can help you calculate U-factor of different window assemblies. The tool has a good database for glazing and a few options for frames.

If you have a detailed section for the window assembly, then you could calculate the U-factor for frames using THERM, and use the frame U-value in LBNL Windows to create your custom frame. LBNL Windows will write an .idf file that you can directly import your workflow using Honeybee_import WINDOW IDF Report component.

Hope this helps!

Hi Devang,

Thank you very much. I will try your solution.

Solon,

Sure Solon,

To get help with the workflows, visit this, and type "LBNL" in the search box. That will give you all the relevant recipes available.
