Ladybug Tools

The Ladybug Tools ecosystem, developed by Ladybug Tools LLC, encompasses several tools for environmental analysis and simulation in building design. These include Ladybug for weather data analysis, Honeybee for detailed daylight and energy modeling, Dragonfly for urban microclimate and district-scale energy analysis, and Butterfly for computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulations. Additionally, EPWMap helps users locate and visualize weather data files necessary for these simulations.

In addition to these core tools, Ladybug Tools LLC contributes to open-source projects to enhance their functionality: Design Explorer, which facilitates the exploration and comparison of multiple design alternatives, and the Glazing + Winter Comfort Tool, which assesses the impact of different glazing options on winter comfort.

Pollination, another product by Ladybug Tools LLC, integrates with the Ladybug Tools ecosystem to expand its capabilities. It provides cloud computing power and advanced collaboration features, allowing users to run complex simulations more efficiently.
