Add Objects to Calculate Wind Factors #369

Open chriswmackey opened 6 years ago

I'm just putting this issue as a record of discussions that I have had with @TheodoreGalanos .

It seems that it would be worthwhile to have an object that can take the butterfly case as an input and it can then find the meteorological wind speed in the 0 file and the last probe results in order to compute wind factors.

These wind factor objects can have both the wind direction and probe wind speed stored as properties, making it easy to take a list of wind factor objects and compute wind speeds for every hour of the EPW.
