Pedestrian Wind Comfort - [source code]
Classifies pedestrian wind comfort per point from an annual hourly wind-speed series (the Wind Speed output of the Velocity Amplification Factors (VAF) component) against a comfort criterion (Lawson, Davenport, NEN8100). Returns the comfort category, class letter, and activity description for each point.
Input
| Name | Nickname | Description | Type |
|---|---|---|---|
| Wind Speed | U | Annual wind field from the Velocity Amplification Factors (VAF) component (its Wind Speed output): a single object holding every point's 8760-hour wind-speed series. Passed as an object so the millions of values skip the Grasshopper data tree. | Generic Data |
| Comfort Metric | Metric | Comfort criterion: Lawson General, Lawson LDDC, Lawson 2001, Davenport, NEN8100 Comfort, or NEN8100 Safety. A wired integer 0-5 (the old convention) still selects by index. | Text |
| Color Scheme | Scheme | Categorical palette for the comfort classes: Classic (green through red, the standard wind-comfort plot), Colorblind Safe (Okabe-Ito derived), or Muted (desaturated, for underlays). | Text |
| Size | S | Marker half-size in model units for the comfort mesh (one quad per point). | Number |
Output
| Name | Nickname | Description | Type |
|---|---|---|---|
| Comfort Rank | Rank | Comfort category number per point (1 = most comfortable; higher = worse). | Integer |
| Class Letter | Letter | Comfort class letter per point (A, B, ... ; S = unsafe). | Text |
| Comfort Class | Class | Comfort activity description per point (e.g. Sitting, Walking). | Text |
| Mesh | M | Comfort mesh: one colored quad per probe point, class-colored by the selected scheme. Needs points inside the Wind Speed object — wire the probe points into the VAF component's Points input. | Mesh |
| Colors | C | Class color per point, aligned with the input series — for coloring custom geometry. | Colour |
| Legend Colors | LC | One color per class of the selected metric, best-to-worst — pairs with Legend Labels for annotation. | Colour |
| Legend Labels | LL | One label per class of the selected metric ("A — Sitting" style), aligned with Legend Colors. | Text |
