This definition extends the GH powercopy to be parametrically associated with the solar geometry obtained through the insolar radiation algorithm. It is part of a larger series related to the idea of Environmental Parametrics.

incident solar | day

ted — Sun, 01 Feb 2009 07:44:05 +0000

This is a re-written version of the sun position algorithm based on NOAA’s published algorithm. It is written in VB.net. This definition displays the accumulation of direct solar radiation throughout the day in false color. IMPORTANT NOTE: the values in the system do not consider the scattering and absorption effects such as water vapor, ozone, aerosol, therefore the numbers are not accurate and should not be used for any purpose other than as a simple visual feedback for designers.

incident solar | current time

ted — Sun, 01 Feb 2009 07:31:36 +0000

This is a re-written version of the sun position algorithm based on NOAA’s published algorithm. It is written in VB.net. This definition displays the solar geometry, insolar radiation and shadow of the object. This version lets you control the time of day. IMPORTANT NOTE: the values in the system do not consider the scattering and absorption effects such as water vapor, ozone, aerosol, therefore the numbers are not accurate and should not be used for any purpose other than as a simple visual feedback for designers.

incident solar | analemma

ted — Sun, 01 Feb 2009 06:00:00 +0000

This is a re-written version of the sun position algorithm based on NOAA’s published algorithm. It is written in VB.net. This definition displays the accumulation of direct solar radiation throughout the year in false color. Daily solar positions are also displayed as an analemma. IMPORTANT NOTE: the values in the system do not consider the scattering and absorption effects such as water vapor, ozone, aerosol, therefore the numbers are not accurate and should not be used for any purpose other than as a simple visual feedback for designers.
