Abstract
Pulling components from grasshopper for means of performance analysis is getting more common than using a standalone simulation model. While this trend results in a revolution in Performative Based Design (PBD), there are a few deficiencies including lack of validation of the components and lack of inclusivity of simulation tools in hybrid systems. This paper looks at validating components in ventilation simulation modelling through measured data from Schlitz Audubon Nature Center (SANC) in Bayside, Wisconsin. Moreover, it investigates integration of self-written Earth Tube components into the model. The main takeaway of this paper is the process of validation and creation of python-based components in grasshopper.
