Day 3: Optional Training/Tutorial
Wednesday 5th September 2018
Morning
Ambient calculation crash-course [~ 1hr]
A perennial favourite giving a excellent 'under the hood' introduction to one of the keystone features of the Radiance system.
The 4 Component Method [~ 1hr]
An exposition of the 4 Component Method (4CM) daylight coefficient approach. The 4 Component Method was, it seems, the first daylight coefficient implementation (originally devised in 1995). It was revised in 2003, and tweaked since then. The rationale for including it during the tutorial day is because knowing how the 4CM approach works makes it much easier to understand how all the other, subsequent, daylight coefficient formulations work. Also, the rigorous validation that the 4CM approach was subjected to helps illustrate and explain many of the accuracy issues that apply to all the Radiance DC formulations.
Autonomous DSLR Setup for HDR Capture [~ 1hr]
Setting up a DSLR for long-term autonomous capture of HDR images. Based on our experience with long-term HDR monitoring in conservation and classroom settings, this session will show how to configure a Mac Mini and Canon DSLR for long-term autonomous capture of HDR images. Software is all freely available: gphoto2, hdgen, etc. Scripts etc. will be provided. By long-term, we mean until the hard-drive is filled or the shutter mechanism fails. The longest completely unattended monitoring session we achieved was nearly 11 months with a HDR capture every 10 minutes 24/7.
Afternoon
An Introduction to Honeybee for the Radiance User [~ 3hrs]
This three-hour session will essentially be a guided-tour of Honeybee and Honeybee[+] for an audience that is familiar, or well versed, with Radiance. The goal of the workshop is to primarily demonstrate the automation, numerical-analysis and data-visualization features afforded through the intuitive graphic interfaces of Honeybee through Grasshopper.
We will be demonstrating these features within the context of known workflows such as rpict- and rtrace-based simulations and the Three Phase Method. The tutorial will include an introduction to the Three Phase Method. At the end of the workshop we will present a number of new developments including honeybee integration with docker (https://github.com/ladybug-tools/honeybee-server-daylight).
If you are interested to follow along during the workshop you will need to install Rhino, Grasshopper, Ladybug and Honeybee on Windows. We will provide detailed installation instructions closer to the workshop.
