algorithmic modeling for Rhino

Hi All,

I'm currently doing a solar radiation analysis for a train station, whereby we want to measure the solar radiation at each measurement point for every hour in the 'extreme hot week' analysis period.

I am taking the approach to run the analysis via Honeybee Radiance, however I cannot find an output that will provide me broken down hourly information for each test point. I find that the genCumulativesky component lets me look at that specific period, but provides a cumulative result of radiation across the period. If I try the climate based sky, I can specify only ONE hour.

I am tempted to parametrically run the climate based to simulate for every hour during this week, however it seems pretty extensive to do this.

I am currently running an annual simulation, however the outputs only seem to be illuminance, not radiation.

Am I missing some form of workflow/sky that I could use that could spit out hourly solar radiation data? It seems quite a simple request which makes me believe it must already exist, but I can't find it =/

Any help would be appreciated! Thanks in advance!

Elzine,

LB has the possibility of showing single hours radiation results.

Attached an example i use for class. See the bottom part of the file fo rthe LB_RTRadiationAnalysis component use.
