Ladybug Grasshopper Tutorial

In this Ladybug Grasshopper tutorial, I will show you the basics. First I will show you how to install Ladybug and run the components. Then I will explain the energy plus weather files (EPW) and how they give us the most important information about temperature, humidity, and wind.
After making the sun path and defining the conditional statements we will also study wind rose and radiation rose graphs and the end we will optimize the orientation of a building base on radiation and surrounding buildings.

Great video! It's very easy to follow your steps with the flow you have explained in the video. Ladybug with no doubt is an awesome plugin to study solar analysis and you make grasshopper look so simple. Please keep making such tutorials. Thank you.

[@Ali.alabeedi]

man this is exactly what I was searching for this and I thought I will find all that you just explained in separated tutorials but dude u gave us everything in one video thank you for this.

[@e_innus]

I love this channel, I watch this from Mexico and I am finishing my thesis.

Extremely useful to optimize solar radiation on building envelope. Thanks a lot.

Thank you very much! I was looking for a tutorial but I ended up finding the best solution for my thesis project! I love the way tha you explain and I can tell you that I learned a lot with this video! Thanks again!

Thank you so much!! this is so useful! I'm still waiting for the next tutorials that you comment in the video (shading designer, solar envelope, etc) I would appreciate it a lot. Thank you soo much dude!

You keep giving these free incredible guides I'll for sure pay a lot for your consultations. When you provide and show a good will to the rest of the community, you literally write a good name for yourself. You are helping architects, designers, engineers and artists solve the energy problem that affects our daily lives. You are becoming a fine TEACHER. Society is hungry for knowledge always. This is true service for the community and it speaks positive volumes about you. Keep doing this work. I know it's a sacrifice but on the long run people will consult you for true complicated problems. The money will come from the sky because you are showing HOW GOOD YOU ARE with the software. This is your own portfolio and can even become your job that you can do on your own house without spending a dime in transportation. Thank you so much for your time and the generous details you provided. I will quote this in my thesis on the architecture of performance chapter.

I dont know why you are making such a complicated knowledge like this for free, but you are probably right now teaching the next influencel person in this world with this knowledge, where nobody can learn this so easily without you.

Thank you so much for the tutorial. I have a question, Why doesn't allow plug Dry Bulb Temperature and wind speed at the same time to Annual/Hourly data?

[@ediskujovic898]

Thank you man you have my support. One question. How hard would it be to make geometry that reacts to the position of the sun? For example the panel rotates when the sun hits it.

Hey. Thanks for all the tutorials! Quick question, how did you select surface and lowered the extrusion at 22:04? What command/feature is that? I am using Rhino 6, and I can't figure out how you did that. Thank you!

[@ParametricHouse]

Hey Charles You're welcome use Ctrl+shift to select a part of a surface

[@tuyanaz1]

Hello! thank you for the tutorial its amazing. I have a problem that I do not have the analysis period vector in the sunpath, can I plug in the hoys instead of that? also do not have the annual hourly data, only have data and when I plug the day bulb temperature etc in that the graph disappears

what version of rhino are you using to run ladybug 0.0.66 through grasshopper?

[@JD-hh2qb]

Is it possible to get that file you have at the beginning? The PDF ladybug primer

[@aminiahad5873]

Dear teacher I have 2 shape. a complex dome and a cube I cant calculate radiation on one of them. radiation on complex dome is 0. however i have result on the cube. one time i just set dome and another time just set cube.(one set a brep) I didn’t set a context geometry in the both modes. I changed my grid size and my epw file but didn’t happen a new result except 0 just for complex dome. I don’t know why my result is 0. maybe my shape is complex?? is it possible that i send u my file?

[@ghsounmadani1739]

wonderful tutorial!!, I would like to know if this can be applied outside our planet? like if I want to study Mars environment, would that work?

[@luistanta8901]

Excellent question, All the information that have Rhino, grasshopper, or whatever software is direct by equations, so if you want to analyze another planet, you must know the equations to determine its characteristics, maybe with phyton exist that possibility to write those equations. I hope I give you any idea.

[@rohanpanval3982]

Thank you sir But if we don't have epw file of of location that we want the how can i do the study? Or is there any way to get epw file of specific location?
