[EnergyPlus_Support] [Invitation] IBPSA-NYC Presents: Spatial Analysis of Thermal and Daylight Building Simulation Data with Mr.Comfy

[Pallavi Mantha <pallavi.mantha@xxxxxxxxx>]

Please excuse the cross-postings.
In this month?s IBPSA-NYC meet, we?re continuing the conversation on innovative ways to visualize building performance data.  


IBPSA-NYC?s new series of talks titled ?Innovative Ways to Visualize Building Performance Data? explores an often under discussed topic of visualizing performance data to tell a good story. Hope you can join us in this conversation!

Title: Spatial analysis of thermal and daylight building simulation data with Mr.Comfy



Mr.Comfy is a plugin for Rhinoceros3d's parametric modeling environment Grasshopper, written in Python, that allows designers to interactively visualize EnergyPlus thermal and Daysim climate-based daylight building simulation results data in design or daylight simulation models.

Instead of using charts or tabular formats, energy consumption, comfort, illuminance levels and any other available performance report variable are directly displayed through color-coded surfaces (and numeric values) where they occur ? in the individual thermal zones of a design. Mr.Comfy thus bridges the gap between sustainable designers' need to analyze data spatially but still retain numeric precision and multiple data representation modes as typically exposed through traditional graphing.

The presentation introduces Mr.Comfy's key featues, relates them to sustainable architectural design cognition and presents several case studies of past student work.

Mr.Comfy is available free of charge at <http://mrcomfy.org/>http://MrComfy.org

About the Speaker: Max is the developer of Mr.Comfy, a spatial thermal simulation data mapping tool, and founder in progress at <http://designefficiency.net/>designefficiency.net, which will introduce design-driven building simulation to architects. He previously served at the TU as assistant professor in an EU-funded digital media literacy research project that investigated the effects of simulation and rapid prototyping technologies on architectural design. Max graduated from the TU Berlin in 2011 with a diploma in Architecture; prior to joining its academic staff, he volunteered as an urban and architectural designer for the Humane Society of the United States and India's Keystone Foundation.
