. From the Thermal Comfort Indices component, Comfort Index 11 (TCI-11):MRT = f(Ta, Tground, Rprim, e)
with:- Ta = DryBulbTemperature coming from ImportEPW component- Tground = f(Ta, N) where N comes from totalSkyCover input. Tground influences the long-wave radiation emitted by the ground in the MRT calculation.- Rprim defined as solar radiation absorbed by nude man = f(Kglob, hS1, ac)- ac is the clothingAlbedo in % (bodyCharacteristics input)- I can't find any definition in the code of Kglob and hS1. Could you tell me please what are those values referencered to? --> probably the globalHorizontalRadiation but how?- e = vapour pressure calculated from Ta and Relative Humidity input
Do you agree that in this case the MRT does not depend on these inputs: location, meanRadiantTemperature, dewPointTemperature and wind speed?It does not depend neither on the other bodyCharacteristics like bodyPosture, age, sex, met, activityDuration...?
MRT calculated by the TCI-11 method is the mean radiant temperature of a vector pointing vertically with a sky view factor of 100%?For ParisOrly epw,
2. From the SolarAdjustedTemperature component (that seems to be more used for the UTCI calculation examples on Hydra compared to TCI-11).
In contrast to the TCI-11, this component distinguishes diffuse and direct radiation and contextualizes the calculation thanks to _ContextShading input, right? It can also be applied to a mannequin thanks to the CumSkyMatrix and thus evaluate the dishomogeneity of radiation exposure.This component seems not to consider the influence of vapour pressure on the result --> is it then more precise to put the MRT output (from the TCI) as an input of meanRadTemperature for SolarAdjustedTemperature?The default groundReflectivity is set to 0.25 --> is GroundReflectivity taken into account in the Tground or MRT calculation in the TCI component? If yes, what is the hypothesised groundReflectivity?The default clothing albedo of 37% (TCI-11 bodyCharacteristics) corresponds to Clothing Absorptivity of 63%?
If the CumSkyMatrix input is not supplied, I get 9 results for the mannequin --> where are those points/results coming from?
If the CumSkyMatrix input is supplied,I suppose the calculation of the 482 results correspond to a calculation method similar to the radiation analysis component that is averaged over the analysis period. Right?But I don't understand why the mannequin is composed of 481 faces and meshFaceResult gives 482 results.
Finally, what is the link between the MESH results, the solarAdjustedMRT and the Effective Radiant field ? Is there a paper to have a detailed explanation of the method?
3. Here are some results for the ParisOrly energyplus weather data. You can find here attached the grasshopper definition.There is no shading in this simulation and the result coming from the ThermalComfort indices for MRT is very different compared to the solar adjusted MRT.Why such a big difference and which of the result should be plugged into the UTCI calculation component?

al read” component in grasshopper.
But somehow it seems that the command line “TempSensor.requestTemperatures();” makes the firefly firmata somehow unstable. I have also connected 5 servo motor which move strangely irregular/wrong when the command line above is in the program. So, when I for example only control the "Digital Pin 12" in grasshopper it mainly moves the servo on Pin 11 (!) but also a bit time delayed the servo on Pin 12.
Do you have any ideas? It has to be something inside the “#include <DallasTemperature.h>” (Libary for the temperature sensor) which doesnt go together with the firefly firmata und gets something wrong in the "void WriteToPin" firmata command
Or do you may have any working codes for implementing a temperature sensor? Its doenst have to be the one i have, I could get another one.
here you can see the code: http://txt.do/drqao (a simplified version of the latest firmata including my TempSensor lines marked with "//...//TEST")
Thanks! Julian…
hem. Now I need to search through the original points that comprise the voronoi diagram and replace them with the new averaged points. I need to do this while still preserving the logic of the old data tree which is comprised of {i}j values. In other words each point is grouped into a vornoi cell so that the cells can be created with the polyline component
I believe I have a relatively simple solution, but need help create a python script that searches and replaces values within a data tree.See the psuedo code below:
Psuedo-Code:
For each item(i) in Data tree B (list of index values points to be replaced grouped into a data tree corresponding to the new point) find the corresponding integer in Data tree C (list of points grouped around {i;j} values)Then replace the integer in Data Tree C with the key value (the data tree path) that corresponds to the item from Data tree B that is replacing the item from Data tree CFor example:Data Tree B{14}(0)2(1)3(2)6(3)11(4)13(5)14Data Tree C{0;1}(0)2(1)3(2)6Output:Data Tree {0;1}(0){14}(1){14}(2){14}
List A - Single point (New Point) with Data Tree/Key value corresponding to group of points it will replace ( List B)
List B-list of index values of flattened voronoi point list with Data Tree/Key Value corresponding to List A - in other words these are all the points I need to replace with the point in List A
List C-list of index values of flattened voronoi point list with Data Tree/Key Value corresponding to {i}j values necessary to re-create voronoi cells with the polyline component
Once this is done I can use the Output and the new Points in List A to replace the set of old points in the original voronoi diagram with the new set up reduced points.
If there is another way to achieve the goal of eliminating small edges of a vorononi diagram, I'm open to suggestions.

the loops haven't even started yet. This is a one time overhead - re-starting the loops after that doesn't have this long delay until you close and re-open the file.
Second, I got some encouraging results rather quickly but then spent WAY TOO MUCH TIME trying to replace the inner loop with a "Fast Loop". These are not well behaved in the sense that they don't respond to <ESC> like the "Classic" loops do so you can't stop them; and I never got the same results as the "Classic", no matter what I tried - but ultimately, I just got too frustrated with "Fast Loop" causing Rhino/GH and my whole laptop to freeze up - VERY BAD!!!!!!!!!!
I re-wired the loops slightly so that the hour used by your 'analysisPeriod' cluster is determined by the 'D0' value inside the inner loop.
I added a "Loop On / Loop Off" switch to stop/start the looping (which was useless with "Fast Loop" - grrr....).
I 'Simplified' the 'D1' output of the inner loop and enabled 'Record data' and 'Output after the last' on the outer loop.
And I got this - four buildings over three hours takes about 20 seconds:
Eleven buildings over three hours takes about one minute.
I'm not sure what will happen when I increase the hours and number of buildings but will try it when I have more time. It might be a good idea to avoid writing to Excel inside the loops and wait for the end results before writing them to an Excel file?
There are more possibilities for re-wiring based on simplifying various outputs but I'm tired of this for now and have other things to do. The exponential slowdown you observed might be due in part to Anemone adding an extra branch path every time it loops; adding 'Simplify' might help this?
P.S. 11 buildings over 13 hours (6am to 6pm) took 5 minutes 38 seconds.…

ed according to list C.
I tried replace members, but it consists of geometry, so it doesn't worked.
In list C I filtered all the indices that need to be replaced.
All items in {0;0} from C need to be replaced by List B {0;0}
All items in {0;1} from C need to be replaced by List B {0;1}
And so on...
In the end everything needs to be fed into a orient component.
G is the geometry behind list B
A is the new list (but I don't know how to create)
B is the list A of all 60 panels
To wrap up the question:
I need to have entry 1 from list B in a new list on position: 0 1 2 3 5 6 7 10 11 12 15 16 21
I need to have entry 2 from list B in the same new list on position: 4 8 9 13 14 etc. etc. etc.
I wonder how I can do this :) Thanks in advance!

hange to a rectangle or a sequence of lines to get the tube geometry. Author of the video explained how to do this in the comments, but that didn't help. :(
"Alan Rodriguez Carrillo 1 year ago + Aldo Villanueva Hi, what you can do is try to handle points (4) with the ListITEM component and change the order of relation, for example (0,1) (1,2) (2,3) (3, 4) (4.0) in a panel. Subsequently do the relation of points through a line from points or LineSDL and elaborate the same steps that are explained in this video. Thanks.
Carlos González Puchol 11 months ago + Aldo Villanueva + Alan Rodríguez Carrillo Buenas, Alan and Aldo. I made a closed, tube design. First I listed the 4 points and put them in order with the polyline the polyline, making it closed. Then I had to close them also in the last steps before doing the triangulation."
Can anyone explain how to make this work ? It seems easy. For a person that knows the trick :))
