Understand the what, when, and how of pushing your projects with resources sorted by phase. Strategies by Phase
The PPT is helping design teams connect concepts with action in the design process through our lunch and learns. 2020 Lunch and Learns
Quickly dive into the resource library and the rest of the content in Pylos.
Cool search placeholder! You can't search from this menu yet, (I know, I know...), head to the homepage to search Pylos.
Explore strategies by project phase and see when and how to best engage with your projects. See the analysis menuSee all strategies
You can also find design and analysis strategies related to a specific theme or certification category. More about themes
Tutorials with easy to follow steps that take you from question to answer for a variety of tasks and analysis. Browse guides
These are the building blocks of computational design that you can plug into your tool, analysis, or design process already made. Learn about blocks
This is a collection of presentations, workshops, and lunch & learns that can help you boost your knowledge about high performance design. Explore presentations
Dive into the programs, plugins, scripts, and in-house tools ZGF has to push project design and performance. Learn about tools at ZGF
Tools and dependencies are the same thing in Pylos except that some blocks or guides require specific tools to work. Those are dependencies. Finding and installing dependencies
Getting new tools and dependencies to work can require a little help. Help track issues for tools that dont work and suggest new tools we should have on Pylos.
There are a number of apps that have been adapted for use in Pylos from custom tools to manage Revit in the cloud to external tools like Design Explorer.
Using and Creating Apps
From contributing and sharing resources to assisting with the platform itself, we are always looking for a helping hand.
Paste in your spreadsheet data and easily create custom data visualizations. Launch Charts
The precursor of Pylos is Hydrashare, a place for the makers of Ladybug and Honeybee to share example scripts. Hydrashare on Pylos
We are building out custom tools that can audit and modify Revit projects in the cloud, they will show up here. ZGF Forge Apps
Pylos is a platform for sharing design tools, tutorials, and guides intended to make computational and high performance design more accessible.

Pylos is the product of the Computational Design Group and the Project Performance Team (PPT) as well as everyone who has contributed.
DIVA-for-Rhino allows users to carry out a series of environmental performance evaluations of individual buildings and urban landscapes including Radiation Maps, Photorealistic Renderings, Climate-Based Daylighting Metrics, Annual and Individual Time Step Glare Analysis, LEED and CHPS Daylighting Compliance, as well as Multi-Zone Energy and Thermal Comfort Calculations. DIVA simulations are based on EnergyPlus, Radiance and Daysim and grounded in the latest green building design research. Features for version 4.1 include:
