Annual daylight simulation recipe for Pollination

annual-daylight

Annual daylight recipe for Pollination.

Use this recipe to calculate annual daylight for a HBJSON model.

This recipe uses a 2-phase method for daylight simulation. If the accuracy of the direct sunlight is important, you can use the annual-daylight-enhanced recipe.

Versions

There are three different versions of the recipe. All three versions use the same simulation methodology and workflow, although their outputs vary.

Version	Outputs	PyPI
annual-daylight	annual daylight metrics	annual-daylight
annual-daylight.viz	annual daylight metrics visualization	annual-daylight.viz
annual-daylight.full	annual daylight metrics visualization results folder	annual-daylight.full

For more information see the recipe on Pollination.

annual-daylight's Issues

All the UDI-related outputs are using the same alias

This results in a several outputs with the same name! We should add a check for this in Queenbee to let the recipe author know the issue beforehand.

ValidationError on import via pollination-dsl

When using the workaround for importing via pollination_dsl.packages.load('annual_daylight') from pollination/pollination-dsl#102, I am encountering a ValidationError.

Set up viz branch deployment CI

As per Mostapha's post we want to set up a demo CI process to deploy separate recipes with a special viz tag.
