Run Urban Weather Generator

Use this component to morph a rural or airport EPW to reflect the conditions within an urban street canyon. The properties of this urban street canyon are specified in the connected _UWGCity.

Inputs

Name	ID	Description	Type
epw_file	_epw_file	An .epw file path on your system. This is the rural or airport file that will be morphed to reflect the climate conditions within an urban canyon.	Goo
city	_city	A Dragonfly City object. This object can be generated with the "DF City" component.	Goo
epw_site_par	epw_site_par_	Optional Reference EPW Site Parameters from the "DF Reference EPW Site Par" component.	Goo
bnd_layer_par	bnd_layer_par_	Optional Boundary Layer Parameters from the "DF Boundary Layer Par" component.	Goo
analysis_period	_analysis_period_	An optional analysis period from the 'Ladybug_Analysis Period' component. If no Analysis period is given, the Urban Weather Generator will be run for the enitre year.	Goo
sim_timestep	_sim_timestep_	A number representing the timestep at which the simulation is run in seconds. The default is set to 300 seconds (5 minutes).	Goo
folder	_folder_	An optional working directory to a folder on your system, into which the morphed EPW files will be written. The default will write these files in the folder that contains the connected _epw_file.	Goo
name	_name_	An optional text string which will be used to name of your morphed EPW files. Change this to aviod over-writing results of previous runs of the Urban Weather Generator.	Goo
write	_write	Set to "True" to have the component generate a UWG object from the connected DFCity and parameters. This object can be edited and smulated using a python component.	Goo
run	run_	Set to "True" to simulate the uwg_object and morph the EPW using the Urban Weather Generator (UWG).	Goo
