[esp-r] Re: RFI: Radiance + ESP_r (they do work together)

[Jon Hand]

George asked a question about ESP-r and Radiance....

These two suites of tools have been working together for
about a decade. ESP-r on any machine except native windows
(and that has been mostly fixed) will generate a Radiance
model and run it to generate images and to get daylight
factors and to create animations of sunlight patterns
over a day.

There is a control law that allows the ESP-r simulator to
call Radiance at each timestep to get the lux at a specific
sensor point.  I do not know if anyone has used that
facility recently.

There is certainly the structure in place for co-operation
between ESP-r and Radiance and perhaps someone could
think of some new functionality that could be added.

Dear all,

 

My name is George Makrythanasis and I am working for a daylight design
consultancy. I was thinking how it will be possible to make Radiance and
Esp-r to interact between them. To make myself clear, what I try to
achieve is a dynamic approach to daylight and thermal design. For the
moment using Perl we can script and use radiance programs to indentify
the best scenario for different cases. What I need to find out is if it
will be possible to use the ESP-r code within a script and exchange
information in terms of thermal performance. Is Esp-r build with the
Radiance way consisting from several programs doing different jobs? Is
there an equivalent program for rtrace within ESP-r written in C code
that I could incorporate to my Perl script as an extra parameter for the
optimization of a scenario?

 

I hope that make some sense and I thank you in advance for your time.

 

Best Regards,
