Optional file to output the Model JSON string with solved adjacency. By default it will be printed out to stdout

Arguments

MODEL_FILE

Required argument

windows-by-ratio

Add apertures to all outdoor walls of a model given a ratio.

Note that this method removes any existing apertures and doors from the Walls. This method attempts to generate as few apertures as necessary to meet the ratio.

Args:

model_file: Full path to a Honeybee Model file.

ratio: A number between 0 and 1 (but not perfectly equal to 1)

for the desired ratio between window area and wall area.

honeybee edit windows-by-ratio [OPTIONS] MODEL_FILE RATIO

Options

-f, --output-file <output_file>

Optional file to output the Model JSON string with windows. By default it will be printed out to stdout

Arguments

MODEL_FILE

Required argument

RATIO

Required argument

windows-by-ratio-rect

Add apertures to all outdoor walls of a model given a ratio.

Note that this method removes any existing apertures and doors from the Walls. Any rectangular portions of walls will have customized rectangular apertures using the various inputs.

Args:

model_file: Full path to a Honeybee Model file.

ratio: A number between 0 and 1 (but not perfectly equal to 1)

for the desired ratio between window area and wall area.

honeybee edit windows-by-ratio-rect [OPTIONS] MODEL_FILE RATIO

Options

-ah, --aperture-height <aperture_height>

A number for the target height of the output apertures. This can include the units of the distance (eg. 3ft) or, if no units are provided the value will be interpreted in the honeybee model units. Note that, if the ratio is too large for the height, the ratio will take precedence and the actual aperture_height will be larger than this value.

Default

2m

-sh, --sill-height <sill_height>

A number for the target height above the bottom edge of the rectangle to start the apertures. Note that, if the ratio is too large for the height, the ratio will take precedence and the sill_height will be smaller than this value. This can include the units of the distance (eg. 3ft) or, if no units are provided, the value will be interpreted in the honeybee model units.

Default

0.8m

-hs, --horizontal-separation <horizontal_separation>

A number for the target separation between individual aperture center lines. If this number is larger than the parent rectangle base, only one aperture will be produced. This can include the units of the distance (eg. 3ft) or, if no units are provided, the value will be interpreted in the honeybee model units.

Default

3m

-vs, --vertical-separation <vertical_separation>

An optional number to create a single vertical separation between top and bottom apertures. This can include the units of the distance (eg. 3ft) or, if no units are provided the value will be interpreted in the honeybee model units.

Default

0

-f, --output-file <output_file>

Optional file to output the Model JSON string with windows. By default it will be printed out to stdout

Arguments

MODEL_FILE

Required argument
