Room
Create Honeybee Room from Honeybee Faces.
Note that each Room is mapped to a single zone in EnergyPlus/OpenStudio and should always be a closed volume to ensure correct volumetric calculations and avoid light leaks in Radiance simulations.
Inputs
faces [Required]
A list of honeybee Faces to be joined together into a Room.
name
Text to set the name for the Room and to be incorporated into unique Room identifier. If the name is not provided, a random name will be assigned.
mod_set
Text for the modifier set of the Room, which is used to assign all default radiance modifiers needed to create a radiance model. Text should refer to a ModifierSet within the library) such as that output from the "HB List Modifier Sets" component. This can also be a custom ModifierSet object. If nothing is input here, the Room will have a generic construction set that is not sensitive to the Room's climate or building energy code.
constr_set
Text for the construction set of the Room, which is used to assign all default energy constructions needed to create an energy model. Text should refer to a ConstructionSet within the library) such as that output from the "HB List Construction Sets" component. This can also be a custom ConstructionSet object. If nothing is input here, the Room will have a generic construction set that is not sensitive to the Room's climate or building energy code.
program
Text for the program of the Room (to be looked up in the ProgramType library) such as that output from the "HB List Programs" component. This can also be a custom ProgramType object. If no program is input here, the Room will have a generic office program. Note that ProgramTypes effectively map to OpenStudio space types upon export to OpenStudio.
conditioned
Boolean to note whether the Room has a heating and cooling system.
Outputs
report
Reports, errors, warnings, etc.
room
Honeybee room. These can be used directly in energy and radiance simulations.
