Climate Studio for Rhino.

Hi David. Thermal zones essentially define the intersection between one volume of air and another. In Climate Studio there are just polysurfaces, so all the data for the simulation is represented by a set of single planar surfaces. You don't define facade materials per se, but you do define building envelopes in the "Envelope" tab in your zone settings. There are a number of envelope assembly conditions you define (roof, exterior wall touching air [facade], exterior wall touching ground, etc.) but only one of each type per zone. There is a lot more to say about it but typing is no fun. If you are interested in CS themal analysis, I posted a bunch of videos in this playlist: th-cam.com/play/PL7xvyVsGwMy1u2_pUl-U6Iaj4IepNqQpu.html&si=Lgg0hSMx2zx6gbhF. BTW, I am a professor of architecture at NYIT in NYC. I make these videos for classes I teach and to answer specific student questions. This video you watched was made to answer a basic question from a student. Anyway, that's my priority here, but if you have questions that I think I can help answer, I may make a video in response. So keep asking, but no guarantees :).

​@@NYITSAMELAB Thank you so much Clarke for the response, really appreciate it :). Right now, I'm trying to do a simulation of an existing building but there are several wall materials used for the building (1 room only), I guess I have to create several thermal zones as well for different wall materials used. Thank you so much for all the ClimateStudio videos, it really helped me a lot. I'll definitely ask more questions if I have more, thank you :)))

These videos are for an architecture course on Arch Sim at New York Institute of Technology, so I am sharing the scripts separately with students in the course.

he doessssss
