ContextShade
Create Dragonfly ContextShade.
Inputs
geo [Required]
Rhino Brep geometry.
name
A name for the ContextShade. If the name is not provided a random name will be assigned.
ep_constr
Optional text for the ContextShade's energy construction to be looked up in the construction library. This can also be a custom construction object. If no energy construction is input here, a default will be assigned.
ep_trans_sch
Optional text for the ContextShade's energy transmittance schedule to be looked up in the schedule library. This can also be a custom schedule object. If no energy schedule is input here, the default will be always opaque.
uwg_is_veg
Boolean to note whether the shade represents a tree canopy within simulations with the Urban Weather Generator (UWG), in which case, it will be incorporated into the simulation as tree cover. NOTE that, when using this option, only the tops and sides of the tree canopy geometry should be modeled. Modeling the bottom of the tree canopy will result in double-counting the horizontal area of the canopy and will also create extra unnessary geometry in EnergyPlus or Radiance calculations using the dragonfly model. (Default: False).
Outputs
report
Reports, errors, warnings, etc.
context
Dragonfly ContextShades.
