NREL's OpenStudio Includes Spider gbXML Viewer

Spider gbXML Viewer is embedded in latest release of OpenStudio. See the Ladybug Tools forum for details.

The code for the OpenStudio edition is maintained in a new repository: Spider gbXML Tools. This code is simpler, faster and better than the current releases.

So have a look at Spider gbXML Viewer Basic and all the modules in the Cookbook. These scripts will be the basis for future release of the Viewer.

Concept

Issue / The problem to be solved

The purpose of the Spider web presence is still a work-in-progress.

The main issue is that much of the currently available software for carrying out building visualization and analysis is expensive, hardwired and not easily accessible.

Solutions to these issues might include:

Provide free, simple, easy-to-access tools to enable an analysis of building outcomes earlier in the design process - or even as a stimulator of the design process

Offer easy-to-read code written so that designers and engineers may monitor, verify and enhance the efforts - and, yes, full-stack developers are welcome too.

Enable just-in-time custom solutions. Every building is both unique and standards-adherent. The visualization and analysis tools should be the same.

Mission

Things we seem to be doing include:

Vision

Life here on Earth is quite amazing and enjoyable. We'd like to help make Earth even cooler.
