Getting Started
Honeybee-REVIVE is a free plugin for Ladybug Tools that adds Phius REVIVE resilience and lifecycle carbon-cost attributes to Honeybee energy models. It relies on the PH-ADORB library to execute the actual carbon-cost calculations.
This plugin is not affiliated with or endorsed by Phius. It is neither reviewed nor approved by Phius for use in complying with the REVIVE program.
Prerequisites
Honeybee-REVIVE extends the Ladybug Tools ecosystem. You will need:
- Ladybug Tools v1.8 or higher
- Rhino 3D v8+ + Grasshopper (for the visual scripting workflow)
- honeybee-grasshopper-revive (Grasshopper components)
Installation
Install from PyPI:
pip install honeybee-reviveFor Grasshopper usage, install via the Ladybug Tools plugin manager or follow the honeybee-grasshopper-revive instructions.

- Model your building geometry in Rhino and assign REVIVE attributes using the Grasshopper components.
- Simulate resilience scenarios (extended power outages, extreme weather) via EnergyPlus with morphed weather files.
- Analyze lifecycle carbon costs using PH-ADORB.
