How can I add the effect of climate parameters like how much foggy or cloudy is the sky on a specific day & hour of a year?and also the air pollution in a day?

Hi Yasaman, Check importEPW component for hourly totalSkyCover. I'm not sure if you can find the data for the air pollution in a day in the weather file. You can read more about the data in an epw file from this link: http://apps1.eere.energy.gov/buildings/energyplus/pdfs/auxiliarypro...

I put together two new Ladybug components that have streamlined the generation of the solar fan and solar envelope. They essentially do what the original GH definitions on this page accomplish. I have uploaded the components to the github and you can try them out by syncing with Ladybug 0.0.53. I will upload an example GH file here soon!
