HEATMAPPER

The Heatmapper tool automates the model prep and simulation workflows required to perform direct sun, solar insolation, and view analysis. It leverages the Honeybee and Human UI grasshopper plugins to enable any architect to run common analysis and generate presentation-quality graphics. This tool embeds the knowledge of SmithGroup’s daylighting experts within customized metrics so that designers are guided towards what matters most. Analysis that used to take days or weeks can now be performed in minutes.
