using shadings in lbt-honeybee

edit

Dear all,

Currently using the lbt-honeybee python package for detailed indoor sun radiation analysis, I am wondering how to include energyplus shading objects from the IDF in the Radiance simulation.

Reading what is inside gridbased.py from the source code in/honeybee/radiance/recipe/annual/, it looks like the GridBased class merely takes HBSurfaces as attributes (no HBShadingSurface accepted).

It is hence unclear to me wether the hbObjects['shading'] can be used in the package, and if yes: how?

My current workaround consists in transforming the energyplus shading objects into buildingsurface:detailed objects within the IDF and then running the GridBased analysis.

Any hint would be greatly appreciated! Many thanks, Edouard
