Autozoner
Grasshopper plugin · v1.0.3 · updated
This tool presents a general algorithm to automatically convert arbitrary building outline into multi-zone building energy models (BEM). The algorithm follows current guidelines for thermal zone discretization of BEMs when actual interior space boundaries are yet undefined. Envisioned applications are for rapid model generation during schematic building design as well as for urban massing studies. We present an argument that current recommendations for separating the core from perimeter zones effectively follow a straight-skeleton subdivision.
