food4Rhino webinar: jifto – Sustainability Assessments by Henning Larsen Architects (June 17, 2026, at 5 PM CEST)


food4Rhino webinar: 
jifto – Sustainability Assessments by Henning Larsen Architects

June 17, 2026, at 5 PM CEST

How do people experience the spaces we design? Will the plaza get any winter sun? Is the courtyard too windy for a cafe in spring? How much biodiversity is there on the site—and where does the rain go during cloudburst? For years, answering these questions meant waiting on a specialist. jifto changes that. It offers instant environmental analysis in the hands of designers, for any project, any budget, and any scale. In this one-hour webinar, we will take you on a helicopter tour of what jifto can do, from sunlight, wind, and microclimate to stormwater, and biodiversity—and show you live how it fits into early-stage design decisions.

About the speaker: Mariusz Hermansdorfer is on a mission to democratize sustainability. Previously Head of Computational Design at Henning Larsen, backed by a PhD in the field. Now, founder of Nflection, the team behind jifto. They're building a personal sustainability assistant that fits any project, any budget, and any scale.

food4Rhino webinar: Qubu Ultralight for Daylight analysis (30 May 2024 at 5 PM CEST)


food4Rhino webinar: Qubu Ultralight for Daylight analysis
30 May 2024 at 5 PM CEST

We want to introduce the newest release of Qubu Ultralight, the first of Qubu's Grasshopper plugins.

Qubu Ultralight is high-speed, and easy-to-use software, designed for the Direct Sunlight and indirect Daylight Factor evaluation of buildings and urban zones. It can seamlessly integrate into the regular design processes of sustainable and compliant buildings.

During the webinar, we will discuss how and why to use Ultralight in Grasshopper to achieve accurate and faster daylighting analysis, aligning with Qubu's mission to help architects and real estate developers create better, faster, and more sustainable residential buildings.

Within one hour, we will set up a proper scene for simple, fast, and accurate daylight analysis with Ultralight for Designers. We will measure Direct sunlight and Daylight factor in multiple apartments, evaluate and interpret the results, and discuss advanced measurements and evaluations that can be performed with Ultralight for Specialist.

Speaker:

Ján Pernecký is the co-founder and CTO at Qubu. He is an architect, dedicated computational designer, and educator. Before Qubu, he co-authored the discrete assembly toolkit for Grasshopper, Monoceros, and the swarm simulation tool Boid. In 2014 he founded one of the first online resources for Grasshopper tutorials, the research Grasshopper Sessions.

Environmental simulation in Rhino with Pollination from Ladybug Tools




We're so excited to share that Rhino and Ladybug Tools users now have access to a new, user-friendly plugin for environmental simulation called Pollination. Created by the developers of Ladybug Tools, the Pollination ecosystem extends Rhino's superior modeling capabilities by giving users the ability to assign environmental simulation data to geometry. You can quickly build, visualize, and validate geometrically complex models before running energy, daylight, thermal comfort, or other environmental simulations in parallel with your design model for real-time insight. 

Use the plugin as a stand-alone desktop application or combine it with Pollination's cloud-computing capabilities, verified simulation recipes, and collaboration features for an unparalleled environmental analysis experience. Ladybug Tools users will find a seamless integration between the Ladybug Tools Grasshopper plugin and the Pollination Rhino plugin. Fully-detailed energy and Radiance models created in Rhino can be sent to Grasshopper as Honeybee models for custom simulation, parametric analysis, and data visualization.

Join the upcoming Pollination User Meetup on May 26, 2022, at 11 am EST to learn about leveraging Pollination to make your existing Ladybug Tools and Rhino workflows more effortless and collaborative.
