PHX 1.0.3

Input / Output Passive House building energy model data.

PHX (Passive House Exchange):

The Passive House Exchange (PHX) model standard and libraries enable users to move their building model data in and out of energy modeling software platforms such as the Passive House Planning Package (PHPP) and WUFI-Passive.

This library can be used as part of a Honeybee-PH plugin workflow, or on its own using the command-line or other user-created GUI tools. Certain workflows have been created for use within the Rhino-3D software which are the most typical workflow.

Packages:

• from_HBJSON: Modules used to create a new PHX model from an existing HBJSON file which has been created using the Honeybee-PH plugin.

• from_WUFI_XML: Modules used to create a new PHX model from an existing WUFI-Passive XML file.

• from_PHPP: Modules used to create a new PHX model from an existing PHPP file.'

• model: The PHX model classes and structures. These objects are designed to be built by one of the 'from_*' libraries above.

• to_PHPP: Libraries to allow for the export of PHX data to a PHPP Microsoft Excel spreasheet.

• to_WUFI_XML: Libraries to allow for the export of a WUFI-Passive XML file with all of the PHX model data. This XML file can then be opened from within the WUFI-Passive application.
