Urbin4hd

A typical URBiN4HD workflow uses a command-line interface (CLI):

# Step 1: Preprocess geometry – calculate shading matrices
urbin4hd preprocess --buildings buildings.geojson --weather city_epw.epw --output shading_matrix.h5

Integrate --bipv with roof area fraction (e.g., 0.4 for shading obstructions). Output is hourly PV generation per building. URBiN4HD


Since URBiN4HD appears specialized:

If no results, the name might be an internal or renamed tool. In that case, the methodology above using OpenStudio + custom shading + urban canopy remains the state of the art. A typical URBiN4HD workflow uses a command-line interface
