lbt-honeybee
Installs a collection of Honeybee core and extension libraries.
Decision gist · record as of 2026-08-14
Yes, if you need the full Honeybee ecosystem for building simulation and analysis. This meta-package eliminates the friction of installing and coordinating multiple interdependent libraries. The active maintenance status (release 1 day old) and zero known vulnerabilities support reliability. The AGPL-3.0 license requires that modifications be shared under the same terms—acceptable for open-source or internal projects but a consideration for proprietary work. Install it as your entry point to Honeybee rather than installing individual extensions.AI-flagged interpretation of the facts on this page — verify before relying
Before you install
- No explicit Python version requirement stated in the package metadata, though classifiers indicate support from Python 2.7 through 3.12; verify your target environment aligns with the Honeybee ecosystem's actual requirements.
- Installation is straightforward with low friction; the package is a pure meta-installer with no compiled dependencies.
- Active maintenance with a release just 1 day old suggests the ecosystem is current.

What it is and what it does
lbt-honeybee is a convenience installer that bundles the entire Honeybee ecosystem—a collection of Python libraries for building energy simulation, daylighting analysis, and thermal comfort modeling. Rather than installing each extension separately, running `pip install lbt-honeybee` pulls in honeybee-core, honeybee-energy, honeybee-radiance (and related radiance tools), honeybee-display, plus all underlying Ladybug geometry and analysis libraries in one operation.
The package itself contains no source code; it exists purely as a dependency aggregator. It is intended for users who want the full Honeybee toolkit for architectural and environmental simulation work. The ecosystem is actively maintained, with a release dated 2026-08-13, and supports a range of Python versions from 2.7 through 3.12, though actual runtime support depends on the individual extension packages.
Use it for
- Install the complete Honeybee ecosystem for building energy modeling and daylighting analysis in a single command.
- Set up a development environment for architectural simulation projects that need radiance rendering, energy analysis, and display tools together.
- Onboard new team members by providing a single package that installs all required Honeybee and Ladybug dependencies.
- Integrate Honeybee into a larger workflow (e.g., Grasshopper plugins, custom scripts) without manually tracking individual extension versions.
- Access honeybee-core, honeybee-energy, and honeybee-radiance alongside their display and post-processing tools without separate installation steps.
