SteP 19:To start the wind analysis a Winair file had to be loaded in Preferences > General > 3rd Party Tools > Winair4 Application. After that, select the surface that will be analysed (selected in red). SteP 18:To perform the Spatial Visibility Analysis you should define a grid in the analysed area through th Adjust Grid Extends com-mand and then Manually Adjust Grid Extends. SteP 17:Go to Calculate > Solar Acces Analysis and calculate it for the grid that was created. Go to the Grid tab on the right to manage the Grid. SteP 16:The solar analysis of the hole area can ba achieved by creating a grid that contains the totality of the buildings.

SteP 15:After the software finishes the calculations, the result should be a diagram as the above. SteP 14:Go to Calculate > Solar Access Analysis and follow the wizard instructions. Right click on the desired material to apply it to the selection. SteP 13:Assign the material that is being used in the surface in the Material Assignment Tab at the right. Check the cases as shown in the image above. SteP 12:Go to Modify > Surface Subdivision to create a grid in the surface that will be analysed. In case they are in the wrong direction, go to Modify > Reverse Normals. SteP 11:Go to Display > Normals to check the direction of the normals vectors. Copy the plans in a new layer, or New Zone, to facilitate the visualization. SteP 10:Choose a surface to analyse the solar incidence. SteP 9:Click the Show Sahdow Range button to create a digram of the shadow range for the hole year. SteP 8:Check the Anual Sun Path case to create the following diagram. SteP 7:Go to the Shadows tab on the right box and select Display Shadows SteP 6:Click the world in the top toolbar to load the weather file for the specific location. SteP 5:Go to Modify Model Settings to put the north in the right position.
Go to Modify > Merge Coincident Triangles to optimize the analysis. SteP 4:Click the Visualize tab to see the 3D Model imported.
SteP 2:Exporting the 3D Model from Rhinoceros. SteP 1:Model the area in a 3D modeling program In this case, Rhinoceros was used. The barrio of Camp delArpa, located in the northeast part of the territory, was analysed using the Ecotect tool, and the results will be used in the future proposal for the region. ]Zero emissions ProjectThe Institute of Advanced Archi-tecture of Catalonia is involved in a research project to transform the city of Barcelona in a Zero Emission city.
