Hi everyone ! I’m exploring whether Pollination could help automate the extraction of thermal bridge lengths directly from the building geometry - Model Editor. For example, calculating linear intersection distances between: roof and wall wall and window/door openings wall and slab/foundation wal…

FYI, I could not help myself from thinking that the window perimeter lengths were just misleading/unhelpful because mullions tend to have very different psi values than frames and the length of mullions was kinda being double-counted between the two neighboring windows. So I added new routines to se…

This is SO good. Dare I ask about psi and chi values and returning to Therm integration? M

I’d hope we can find a better alternative to THERM, I know that’s how PHIUS wants their TB’s modeled but that program is awful :sweat_smile: There has to be another option I’d hope these days. Maybe: [image] GitHub - ElmerCSC/elmerfem: Official git repository of Elmer FEM software …

A quick scan through Elmer does not offer me much confidence. What am I missing? I like Therm mostly because of the links to LBNL’s other clunker Window because of the latter’s connection to the brilliant underlying glazing materials database and ability to transition us into the BSDF future… M

Elmer could provide 2D and 3D thermal modeling as well as fluid dynamics which could possibly offer a solution to a new version of butterfly, that seems like a decent option to me :man_shrugging: [image] but I’ve no stake in the matter best -trevor

The THERM discussion probably merits a separate discussion topic (and probably belongs on the LBT forum). But I’ll just say that I am planning to work on a new insect to connect to THERM in December. The 8.1 Beta version of THERM that LBNL released towards the end of September has two major improvem…

Awesome! happy to hear about the THERM updates and excited about the new bug, already trying to guess what it is. best -trevor

Hello everyone, we are finalizing the step for exposing the user interface for you to be able to generate the report in the Model Editor. [image] Meanwhile, here is a sample PDF report that I generated for the Revit sample model. Have a look and let us know if you have any feedback. Pollination …

This is honestly kind of insane and super useful. I’ll test it on a project as soon as it’s available in the Model Editor. For future iterations, it would be great to have an Excel export. If the output were grouped by Type and then by individual continuous length, it would make it easier to assign…

[image] rbs: This is honestly kind of insane and super useful. I’ll test it on a project as soon as it’s available in the Model Editor. Thank you for the kind comments! :slight_smile: Keep in mind that this is the first version. We will most likely need several iterations before getting to th…
