<p>I finally found by myself how to internalise data.. (very simple) :)</p>
<p>I just don't know which components could help me to move points into normal vector, according to sunlight values. I tried some ways to do it but it still doesn't work.</p>

I see it should be the sunlight hours value, but where am i supposed to take them. In ladybug component i guess but it doesnt work..<br />

<p>I tried to internalize everything as u advised me, but i don't know what value to put in boolean or number components for example..</p>

<p>The way I would maybe approach it is by generating a point cloud based on the values. i.e more density where you want smaller triangle and less density where you want bigger.</p>
<p>Then next you can move these points by the façade normal , move them more where you want more angular volatility and less where you don't.</p>
<p>Then just go about creating the Delaunay mesh as you had done in your other exercises.</p>
<p></p> Omg, there it is I suppose!

<p>First of all, thanks a lot for your answer guys!</p>
<p></p>
<p>As you advice me, i tried to do something with ladybug instead. But I ve got a red component which means "not working".. I also think that this is not the same analysis as Ecotect one. I guess the good one is the sunlight hours analysis but I have no result anyway..</p>
<p></p>
<p>Ps : My teachers are like ghosts here... : /</p>
<p></p>
<p>Are you able to find an issue with ladybug?</p>
<p></p>
<p>Thanks</p>

<p>Sorry, I've not been available for the past few week whilst trying to sort out personal matters.</p>
<p>Again, Peter's right with the balancing act and sadly the LCA and LCC of many projects are poorly considered in practice. In Britain a good example is CO2 being the main focus without appreciating that the insulants that are available have some pretty nasty consequences for other impact areas.

<p>Sorry, I've not been available for the past few week whilst trying to sort out personal matters.</p>
<p>Again, Peter's right with the balancing act and sadly the LCA and LCC of many projects are poorly considered in practice. In Britain a good example is CO2 being the main focus without appreciating that the insulants that are available have some pretty nasty consequences for other impact areas. The UK government recognises the need to reduce carbon emissions in legislation bbut not much else (other than the things that the EU took care of within the air quality and construction product regulations and CE marking). My worry is that the UK government will water down our already inadequate effort to assess Impacts even more once we've left the EU.</p>
<p>You can't actually balance or equate these issues without some sort of importance being associated with each impact indicator which is more subjective and needs to be done ideally on a project by project basis, by an architect, with a full LCA and WLC analysis. The design process should also engage with the end-users more which is another problem particularly in the housing markets where the client pays as little as possible, not interested in commissioning the work and effort required, and sells on the long term consequences to the future homeowner who wouldn't have necessarily been happy with some of the choices made at design stage.</p>
<p></p>
<p>_Anyway..._______________________________________________________</p>
<p>As for your issue... I don't know how far you've got with Ecotect modelling, but if you're only using it for the weather data files and psychometric charts and basic orientation optimisation, then surely you can use Ladybug to get the data to generate the parameters you're after as the data will be natively read and organised within grasshopper.</p>
<p>So the two options as it stands seems to be something like Geco <a href="http://www.food4rhino.com/app/geco" rel="nofollow">http://www.food4rhino.com/app/geco</a> if you want to use Ecotect</p>
<p><strong>or</strong></p>
<p>Ladybug suite of tools which is open source</p>
<p><a href="http://www.food4rhino.com/app/ladybug-tools" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">http://www.food4rhino.com/app/ladybug-tools</a></p>
<p></p>
<p><strong>Shouldn't your tutors and peers be advising you on this?</strong></p>
<p></p>
<p>Its of course for you to decide which approach is best from what you have already. The weather data files are the same source for both programs from what it seems (energyplus). However I don't have access to ecotect and have never used Geco to be able to comment or assist any further.</p>
