Major change in how cooling demand is calculated. Furthermore, input parameters in the Grasshopper Building and EnergySystems forms are now saved into the .gh file.

To install, extract the contents of Hive_v1.1.0.zip into your Grasshopper Components library folder. If you've previously installed an older version of Hive, simply replace the existing files with the new ones. Make sure to set each file to unblock (right click, properties).

Tutorial videos are on Moodle (currently only accessible to ETH students enrolled to the course "Energy and Climate Systems 3), in "E02 - Passive Solar": https://moodle-app2.let.ethz.ch/course/view.php?id=12932#section-6

Change Log:

  • building energy demand calculations (sia380.py) now better represent cooling demand, in accordance to newest equations from @Linwal and @hillias (Interaktion Struktur, Klima und Wärmebedarf_HS20.xlsx and EK1_Formelsammlung_HS20.pdf). ( #470 )
  • input parameters of the Grasshopper Building and EnergySystems forms are now saved in the .gh file ( #471 )
  • renamed Solar irradiation per window label in the GhVisualizer component to Solar gains, because these values show irradiation into the zone (considering g-values), not onto the surface ( #468 )
