Separate the anthropogenic heat calculatation as an independent toolbox from the opimitsation #3596

Open ShiZhongming opened 4 months ago

ShiZhongming commented 4 months ago

Currently, the new optimisation feature contains the script that calculates ejected anthropogenic heat. This calculation can be quite valubale to assess individual scenario too.

I am opening this issue to discuss the possibility of making this script as a new feature/modular toolbox. Doing so could also mark CEA's one step further on exploring the impacts on outdoor spaces.

I am tagging @MatNif to join the discussion. What do you think about it in terms of the feasibility?

Hi @ShiZhongming,

I think it's generally doable without too much of an extra effort. We'd have to discuss a few things first, e.g. the exact shape the outputs should take and where we set our system boundaries for the calculation outside of the optimisation script. But generally I think we could start this development within the next few weeks.
