How to create user-defined material in climate studio (VLT for glass)

[alwinyjino (Alwin)]

Hi, we are working for glare analysis using climate studio in rhino for one of our projects. Here, we would like to know how we create a new material or is there any way to define user-specific Visual transmittance values of a glazing material. For a glazing with a VLT of 40%, any coding or format that can be specified and saved as a new radiance material to be used in our custom material library.

Any support on this is highly appreciated.

Scripts for smart glasses

If you want to make different glass materials and do stuffs on it (compare, energy things, blah), you can use “Honeybee” to define materials of different glasses and for making customized type of windows and refer it to “Honeybee”. If I remember correctly, you can use LBNL software. At the end, you can search in Google and specially Ladybug forum.
