Kinetic shading panel responses (open/close) according to the location of sun/sun path

Hi all

I am doing research which is about energy use assessment of office building applying kinetic facade. Because the facade shifts hourly according to the location of sun then the requirements for daylight adequacy as well as energy use also change by hour. Thus, for calculating those things, simulating the movement of shades is very important to get final results.
I have searched on the forum as well as on the internet, somebody has done that already but I can not find out any tutorial or any guidance for this. In detail, Mull Anthony and his team had described successfully the movement of kinetic facade under the sun position's change by using Ladybug, HoneyBee and some other plugins. You guys can see the detail by looking at this link
http://www.grasshopper3d.com/group/nsad-grasshopper/forum/topics/ki...

In short, I want to simulate hourly the energy use of a building using kinetic facade system which can change automatically based on the sun's movement in Grasshopper. I am on the way for understanding all simulation types, but the most critical trouble here is how to parametric model the movement of kinetic facade in GH.

Since I am a very beginner in using GH, Ladybug and Honeybee as well, so I met a lot of difficulties to understand and follow the tutorials about these things. This matter now is very urgent for me because honestly I don't have much time to finish my thesis. So I really really hope someone here could help me. Any help, guidance, suggestion or link of tutorials will change and save my life surely!!!!
