LadyBug Analysis Period Night Only

Hi,

i'm trying to set up a wind rose analysis in lady bug that shows the wind direction and velocity only for the night of the summer (lets say from 10 pm to 7 am of the next day).

This in order to determine the best orientation of a buildings to maximise the benefits from night cooling ventilation.

can someone help me?

thank yu

best

Ok. Windrose component reads _analysisPeriod_ or assigns a default value for that.

I like the way you use annualHourlyData_ input for this.

To move forward on this one, the way I see it, there are two ways;

1. We implement HOY input for this component similar to what Mostapha has done for Ladybug_SelectSkyMtx. This is ofcourse if you, Chris, and Mostapha agree.

2. If you and Chris come to an agreement on a method, we could think on how to reflect the same on the analysis period displayed in the Title Text (The text below a windRose).

In any case, I would be happy to get involved.

Thanks,

Hi Devang,

I could not agree :-)

There ave been many request/questions on the forum regarding how to render only a group of hours (night hours, or otherwise) without taking those in between.

The HOY input can be a good way to implement. I think we can do it, and if it works smoothly i don't think Mostapha or Chris will oppose.

The title for such cases should say something like "output for user selected hours", or something similar, since with the HOY input i can give random hours. It will be difficult to write in the title all of those.
