Some nice improvements by Philip: english/german button for the hive building form with all the SIA2024 terms translated into english; the tree prototype components by @justinfmccarty are now proper grasshopper components (no icons yet); and some cosmetic changes in the visualizer.

Furthermore, fixed a serious bug in the solar model that caused irradiation to explode on tilted surfaces, for some reason only on southern hemisphere. Problem in the end was the sky brightening factor in the perez diffuse model being allowed to take values >1 (caused by high air mass values). this factor is now capped to max 1, and the air mass calculation is now done with KastenYoung1989 - the default model in PV_lib - instead of with the simple model 1/cos(thetaZ)

What's Changed

Hot fix, Hive didn't work when "Wohnen" (residential building) and "Bestand" (existing building) was selected in the building input form, because "NaN" for heat recovery wasn't dealt with properly in the core.

Data does not make complete sense yet, but the general idea is there and the data issue needs to be fixed in the Hive.Core. Further important changes to be mentioned are a little shoebox validation study with EnergyPlus and @Linwal hourly SIA380 model, the inclusion of Domestic Hot Water in the visualizer and the reduction of floor area according to SIA norm.

Most important addition: adaptive comfort is now selectable in the hizard and has an impact to demand calculations. Before, it was just hardcoded into the workflow. Change log:

Major change in how cooling demand is calculated. Furthermore, input parameters in the Grasshopper Building and EnergySystems forms are now saved into the .gh file.

To install, extract the contents of Hive_v1.1.0.zip into your Grasshopper Components library folder. If you've previously installed an older version of Hive, simply replace the existing files with the new ones. Make sure to set each file to unblock (right click, properties).

Tutorial videos are on Moodle (currently only accessible to ETH students enrolled to the course "Energy and Climate Systems 3), in "E02 - Passive Solar": https://moodle-app2.let.ethz.ch/course/view.php?id=12932#section-6

Change Log: - building energy demand calculations (sia380.py) now better represent cooling demand, in accordance to newest equations from @Linwal and @hillias (Interaktion Struktur, Klima und Wärmebedarf_HS20.xlsx and EK1_Formelsammlung_HS20.pdf). ( #470 ) - input parameters of the Grasshopper Building and EnergySystems forms are now saved in the .gh file ( #471 ) - renamed Solar irradiation per window label in the GhVisualizer component to Solar gains, because these values show irradiation into the zone (considering g-values), not onto the surface ( #468 )

https://github.com/architecture-building-systems/hive - Hive 1.0.0 first release

This is the first official release of Hive. Some features are de-activated from the user until some more testing and debugging has been done (energy systems, Amr plot, ...).

Hive v1.0.0 is functional for: - monthly final energy demand analysis using SIA380 and SIA2024 data for a single zone building - supports arbitrary rhino geometry, as long as it is linear and planar - solar irradiation analysis unobstructed and obstructed - yearly losses and gains analysis

This version will be used in the lecture Energy and Climate Systems 3 HS 2020, in the excercise E02 - Passive Solar Design.

Installation instructions and tutorials are currently only available to ETH studens, on moodle (https://moodle-app2.let.ethz.ch/mod/folder/view.php?id=463234). (changed on 18.10.2020)

Dependencies (included in the Hive_v1.0.0.zip: - Oxyplot - Newtonsoft - Honey-badger (https://github.com/architecture-building-systems/Honey-badger) - SolarModel and GHSolar (https://github.com/christophwaibel/GHSolarV2)

https://github.com/architecture-building-systems/hive - Hive almost-first-release

The almost first release! This state still has too many bugs to be used for teaching. But it has essentially most of the important features in some way:

• environment definition (weather, urban geometry)
• building definition (geometry, construction, cost, load parameters, ...)
• energy systems (ASHP, chiller, boiler, PV, SolarThermal)
• Visualizer component

Some more testing needs to be done (2 more weeks?) and it should be ready for 1.0.

As a user, find all required libraries in hive\GrasshopperExamples\Hive v0-9 libraries.zip and unpack them into your Rhino Grasshopper Components folder. Also note: not all examples in \GrasshopperExamples will work, but Hive_Full_Workflow.gh and Hive_Hidden_Core.gh should.

https://github.com/architecture-building-systems/hive - Hive Monthly Demand and PV

This release contains monthly energy demand calculation based on SIA 380, where solar gains and heat losses of individual surfaces are considered. Furtheremore, it has solar irradiation simulation (unobstructed and obstructed), as well as PV yield calculation and air source heat pump sizing. Monthly demand and PV production are visualized with a custom visualizer component.

This release is a slightly updated version from the April lecture in EuKS 2. Specifically, now, the SIA 380 demand calculation has been turned into one component, whereas it was a collection of ghpython scripts in the lecture.

How to: Unpack hive.zip into your Grasshopper components library folder.

This release contains the contents as used in the first Hive lecture, presented in Energie- und Klimasysteme 2 on 24. April 2020.

It contains SIA 380.1 monthly heating demand calculation with geometry from the Rhino viewport coupled to Grasshopper. The demand calculation uses a collection of ghpython scripts. Furthermore, solar gains are computed on windows and one PV surface. An air source heat pump is sized according to the peak heating load. Results for monthly heating and electricity (from the heat pump minus PV yield) demands are visualized with the GHVisualizer, a custom visualizer component that uses the OxyPlot library.
