honeybee-REVIVE 0.1.1

A Honeybee Extension for Phius REVIVE Modeling.

Honeybee-REVIVE:

A Phius-REVIVE plugin for Honeybee and Ladybug-Tools

Honeybee-REVIVE is a free plugin for Ladybug Tools which enables users to add detailed Phius-REVIVE style attributes to their models alongside the normal Honeybee inputs.

This plugin is designed as a plugin for Honeybee v1.8. It can also be utilized by the Ladybug toolkit for building up models within Rhino 3D v8+ and Grasshopper using the honeybee_grasshopper_revive tools. This extension relies on the PH-ADORB library to execute the actual carbon-cost calculations.

Note: PH-Tools and this PH-ADORB library is in no way affiliated with Phius, and the library here is neither reviewed, nor approved by Phius for use in complying with the REVIVE program.

Packages:

• honeybee_revive: Extend the basic Honeybee extension package with new Phius-REVIVE specific model elements.

• honeybee_energy_revive: Extend the Honeybee-Energy package with new Phius-REVIVE style attributes for elements such as windows, hvac and construction assemblies.

• honeybee_revive_standards: Helpful new standards for programs and assemblies which are especially relevant to Passive House practitioners.
