Inputs
| Name | ID | Description | Type |
|---|---|---|---|
| geo | _geo | A list of closed breps that represent the geometry of the buildings in the urban area that fall under this typology. | Goo |
| program | _program | One of the 16 building programs listed from the "DF Bldg Programs" component. The following options are available: FullServiceRestaurant Hospital LargeHotel LargeOffice MediumOffice MidRiseApartment OutPatient PrimarySchool QuickServiceRestaurant SecondarySchool SmallHotel SmallOffice StandAloneRetail StripMall SuperMarket Warehouse | Goo |
| age | _age | An integer that sets the age of the buildings represented by this typology. This is used to determine what constructions make up the walls, roofs, and windows based on international building codes over the last several decades. Choose from the following options: Pre-1980's 1980's-Present New Construction | Goo |
| flr_to_flr | _flr_to_flr_ | A number that sets the average distance between floors for the building typology. This will be used to compute the total floor area of the building, which ultimately determines the influence that the typology has on the urban microclimate. | Goo |
| fract_canyon | _fract_canyon_ | A number between 0 and 1 that represents the fraction of the building's waste heat from air conditioning that gets rejected into the urban canyon (as opposed to through rooftop equipment or into a ground source loop). The default is set to 0.5. | Goo |
| run | _run | Set to "True" to run the component and generate a building typology. | Goo |
