QuVue is now possible to use with Grasshopper (Rhino 6)
QuVue is a plugin for uVSF(SkyView Ratio) Analysis. It is a new index for measuring visible sky ratios that overcomes the major hurdles of current methods. It calculates the actual three-dimensional projection area of obstacles onto a virtual hemisphere, considering humans’ downward view. QuVue is TRADEMARKED and its a free program.
Ass. Prof. Yun Kyu Yi’s “QuVue implementation for decisions related to high-rise residential building layouts” is published in Building and Environment.
This paper tested a newly developed visible sky ratio measure called QuVue in an actual high-rise residential complex to determine its robustness and identify its limitations. QuVue is a new index for measuring visible sky ratios that overcomes the major hurdles of current methods. It calculates the actual three-dimensional projection area of obstacles onto a virtual hemisphere, considering humans’ downward view.
Prof. Yi’s work, titled QuVue, has been trademarked under the U of I Board of Trustees. The tool is for architectural and engineering services, namely consulting services, to evaluate sky view ratios.
Lab will receive $5000 this summer to utilizing AWS. Lab will use this service to develop a methodology to evaluate qualitative performance of the building by using Amazon Rekognition.
