honeybee-energy 1.120.4

Energy simulation library for honeybee.

honeybee-energy

Honeybee extension for energy simulation.

This extension is intended to be generic such that it can represent energy properties across multiple different energy simulation engines.

However, there are many parts of the extension that directly leverage the EnergyPlus simulation engine in order to make honeybee-core models immediately simulate-able.

The package can also leverage the OpenStudio SDK via the honeybee-openstudio Python package to translate honeybee Models to OpenStudio format.

All of these dependencies are contained within the honeybee-energy Docker image

Honeybee-energy is also used by other honeybee extensions that translate honeybee models to building energy simulation engines, including honeybee-doe2 and honeybee_ph.

Installation

pip install -U honeybee-energy

If you want to also include the standards library of typical ProgramTypes and ConstructionSets use:

pip install -U honeybee-energy[standards]

If you want to also include the honeybee-openstudio library to perform translations to OpenStudio use:

pip install -U honeybee-energy[openstudio]

To check if the command line interface is installed correctly use honeybee-energy --help.
