Aperture

- [source code]

Create Honeybee Aperture

Inputs

• geo [Required]

  Rhino Brep or Mesh geometry.

• name

  Text to set the name for the Aperture and to be incorporated into unique Aperture identifier. If the name is not provided, a random name will be assigned.

• operable

  Boolean to note whether the Aperture can be opened for ventilation.

• ep_constr

  Optional text for the Aperture's energy construction to be looked up in the construction library. This can also be a custom WindowConstruction object. If no energy construction is input here, a default will be assigned based on the properties of the parent face that the Aperture is assigned to (ie. whether the Face is a RoofCeiling, whether it has a Surface boundary condition, etc.)

• rad_mod

  Optional text for the Aperture's radiance modifier to be looked up in the modifier library. This can also be a custom modifier object. If no radiance modifier is input here, a default will be assigned based on the properties of the parent face that the Aperture is assigned to (ie. whether the Face is a RoofCeiling, whether it has a Surface boundary condition, etc.)

Outputs

• report

  Reports, errors, warnings, etc.

• apertures

  Honeybee apertures. These can be used directly in radiance simulations or can be added to a Honeybee face for energy simulation.
