Rhino.Inside Revit

Rhino.Inside Revit a Grasshopper plugin is used facilitates the seamless transfer of geometries from Rhino - Gh to Revit. The initial approach involves creating Revit native elements through Rhino reference geometries. For geometries that are organic or otherwise challenging to create due to limitations, the DirectShape feature is employed to facilitate data exchange efficiently.

Projects contain numerous geometries, each with a specific function within the building. Revit family types are assigned to all geometries during the transfer to Revit, ensuring proper categorization and functionality:

Context Models: Created in the Mass family to represent the surrounding environment.

Horizontal Planar Surfaces: Modeled as floors to accurately represent building levels.

Custom Families: Developed directly through Grasshopper to streamline the design process.

Lighting: LED lights are created within a distinct family for precise placement and control.

Curtain Walls: Complex native curtain walls are generated by referencing Rhino geometries.

Solid Walls: Complex solid walls are created using the wall-byface method in Grasshopper.

Non-Planar Roofs: Modeled along with roof framing and glass elements to capture architectural intricacies.

DirectShapes Method: Utilized to transfer geometries quickly and efficiently.

To ensure a smooth transition from Rhino-Gh to Revit, several workflows have been developed. These workflows enable the transfer of complex Rhino geometries into Revit as native elements, which is crucial for further BIM purposes. This integration enhances design flexibility, accuracy, and efficiency, supporting a streamlined workflow from concept to construction documentation.

6.3 Building Energy Analysis

The project demonstrates the workflow for calculating the total energy load using the Honeybee plugin in Rhino-Grasshopper. It focuses on a small G+1 bungalow with specific spaces on the ground floor, including a living room, kitchen, drawing room, storage, bathroom, corridor, and staircase. The first floor consists of a stair, corridor, two bedrooms, a master bedroom, and a terrace. The energy load calculations are performed on the bungalow, considering factors such as occupancy, usage patterns, and building materials to assess its overall energy consumption.

- Model input and intersecting solids - Setting programs for individual rooms (Cluster) and construction set.

- Creating Honey bee(HB) rooms from solid.

In the project, Rhino 3D closed objects are used as input, and intersecting solid operations are applied to establish spatial relationships for the Honeybee plugin. Each space is individually converted into a Honeybee model, allowing for the assignment of unique programs based on the space requirements. Construction sets are defined for the Honeybee model, and adjacency relationships between spaces are resolved. Windows, doors, and shades are added to the Honeybee model to complete the building representation. The created model is then passed to the Open Studio Model (OSM), which calculates the energy load based on defined parameters. The resulting data is visualized in various formats to analyze and interpret the energy performance of the building.

The programs are constructed with respect to the space function. For instance, the program of kitchen consist no. of people occupying space and of all needed equipment like induction hob, cooker hood, fridge, microwave, oven, mixer, dishwasher and washing machine. Schedule chart is given to estimate the usage of the equipments 01 02
