Environmental Analysis of Residential Building in Vancouver, Canada
Site Location: White Spot Restaurant in Georgia Street, Vancouver
Preliminary Concept
Climate analysis via Ladybug and other plug-ins in Grasshopper.
DAYLIGHT ANALYSIS
To create a Daylight Analysis we can use different plug-ins in Grasshopper but one of the plug-ins that we can use is called Ladybug. We also can use Honeybee as well to have different analysis. In here it needs to mention that we need to import the weather source information about the subject city in Grasshopper and then start working on plug-ins to extract information. For having Weather Source information we can refer to epwmap (ladybug.tools) which allows us to have access to all source of weather information.
SUNLIGHT ANALYSIS
One the most effective and practical web app or plug-ins that we can use to extract Sunlight Analysis, Wind Analysis and Wind Comfort Analysis is called InFraRed. we can access to this web app via InFraReD that the company called InFraRed City produced and it saved lots of time and money to extract this analysis for any type of building. As it shows below are the Sunlight analysis, Wind Analysis and Wind Comfort Analysis that are generated in InFraRed City website and its plug ins.
