<p class="section-subcontent">
Ladybug Tools was started by <a class="page-scroll" href="#mostapha">Mostapha</a> in 2012 mainly out of frustration:
“I couldn’t stand the repetitive, simplified and disconnected workflows that I had to use on a daily basis as well as
the overall lack of knowledge about environmental building design. I wanted educate more people about the principles
of environmental building design and that happened to be through Ladybug!”
</p>
<p class="section-subcontent">
The first version <a href="https://www.grasshopper3d.com/group/ladybug/forum/topics/ladybug-v-0-0-35-preview" target="_blank">
was released</a> on January 2013 as a Ladybug plugin for <a href="https://grasshopper3d.com/" target="_blank">Grasshopper</a>.
It was a collection of a mere 28 components for weather data visualization, solar radiation studies, and sunlight hours analysis.
Following the success of Ladybug, Honeybee for Grasshopper
<a href="https://www.grasshopper3d.com/group/ladybug/forum/topics/release-notes-honeybee-0-0-50-ladybug-0-0-54" target="_blank">
was released</a> in 2014 to connect <a href="https://grasshopper3d.com/" target="_blank">Grasshopper</a>
to validated daylighting and energy simulation engines, such as
<a href="https://radiance-online.org/" target="_blank">RADIANCE</a>, <a href="https://daysim.ning.com/" target="_blank">Daysim</a>,
<a href="https://energyplus.net/" target="_blank">EnergyPlus</a> and <a href="https://openstudio.net/" target="_blank">OpenStudio</a>.

Soon after, <a href="#chris" class="page-scroll">Chris</a> came on board and helped move Ladybug on to the next phase
of its development. While using Ladybug and Honeybee for <a href="https://dspace.mit.edu/handle/1721.1/99261" target="_blank">
his thesis at MIT</a>, he <a href="https://www.grasshopper3d.com/group/ladybug/forum/topics/initial-documentation-of-thermal-maps"
target="_blank">added thermal comfort models</a> to Ladybug, which provided a foundation for detailed comfort mapping tools he later added
to Honeybee. From this start, Chris then further developed multiple components, becoming one of the lead developers of Ladybug Tools.
In 2016, he completed a connection between Honeybee and <a href="https://windows.lbl.gov/software/therm/therm.html" target="_blank">LBNL THERM / WINDOW</a> and
he currently upgrades and maintains Ladybug legacy plugin and Honeybee's connection with OpenStudio.
</p>
<p class="section-subcontent">
In 2016, we started <a href="https://github.com/ladybug-tools/" target="_blank">re-writing Ladybug Tools</a> to provide
them as cross-platform Python libraries and plugins for <a href="https://grasshopper3d.com/" target="_blank">Grasshopper</a> and
<a href="https://dynamobim.org/" target="_blank">Dynamo</a>.
After more than a year of work, <a href="#mostapha" class="page-scroll">Mostapha</a> and <a href="#theodore" class="page-scroll">Theodore</a>
<a href="https://www.grasshopper3d.com/group/ladybug/forum/topics/butterfly-beta-release-for-grasshopper-and-dynamo" target="_blank">released</a>
the Butterfly plugin in March 20, 2017. Butterfly adds <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Computational_fluid_dynamics" target="_blank">
Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD)</a>
simulation to Ladybug Tools by connecting <a href="https://grasshopper3d.com/" target="_blank">Grasshopper</a> and
<a href="https://dynamobim.org/" target="_blank">Dynamo</a> to <a href="https://openfoam.com/" target="_blank">OpenFOAM</a>.
After the release of Butterfly <a href="#mostapha" class="page-scroll">Mostapha</a> and <a href="#sarith" class="page-scroll">Sarith</a>
<a href="https://www.grasshopper3d.com/group/ladybug/forum/topics/honeybee-0-0-3-release-notes-for-grasshopper-and-dynamo" target="_blank">released</a>
the first version of Honeybee[+] in August 2017.
</p>
<p class="section-subcontent">
We are currently in the process of linking Ladybug Tools with more analysis engines such as the
<a href="https://urbanmicroclimate.scripts.mit.edu/uwg.php" target="_blank">Urban Weather Generator</a>, and
the <a href="https://github.com/paragrastogi/SyntheticWeather" target="_blank">SyntheticWeather</a> engine for climate change projections
(soon to be released under Dragonfly). With the help from <a class="page-scroll" href="#theo">Theo</a>, we are also developing
<a href="https://www.ladybug.tools/ladybug-web" target="_blank">Ladybug Tools for web.</a>
</p>
<p class="section-subcontent">
To ensure the long-term sustainability of the project as it grows exponentially,
<a class="page-scroll" href="#mostapha">Mostapha</a> and <a class="page-scroll" href="#mostapha">Chris</a> co-founded
Ladybug Tools LLC in August 2017 to provide <a href="./consulting.html" target="_blank">commercial services</a> around the project.
These include contracted developments, project consulting, cloud computing, and training. These activities help fund the continued
development, maintenance and release of Ladybug Tools and help make it a strongly viable, commercially supported, open source project.
</p>
<p class="section-subcontent">
Throughout this time, <a class="page-scroll" href="#contributors">many developers tirelessly contributed to the community in many ways</a>.
As a result of their efforts, Ladybug Tools has grown into multiple inter-connected libraries and plugins that are used in academia as
well as architecture and engineering offices worldwide. They allow for a wide range of analyses from climate visualization to
<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Computational_fluid_dynamics" target="_blank">computational fluid dynamics</a> and have changed the
face of environmental building design through their application to projects. With the development ongoing and the community evergrowing,
we are excited about the infinite possibilities that lie ahead in the future!

Chris Mackey is a co-founder of Ladybug Tools LLC and a lead developer of its software.
He hails from a mixed background of architecure and building science, having applied Ladybug Tools
to both professional architecture practice and the architecture + building technology
degrees that he holds from MIT. He may be best known for his Ladybug + Honeybee tutorial videos, which
are consulted as a learning refernece for thousands of professionals and students across the globe.
</p>
<p class="card-text">
Chris has added many features to Ladybug Tools including many of the project’s functions for energy modeling,
thermal comfort, HVAC sizing, building energy simulation visualization, and detailed envelope
heat flow modeling (with LBNL Therm + Window).
He oversees the maintenance of the Ladybug + Honeybee Legacy Plugins and is currently in the process
of bolstering the <a href="https://github.com/ladybug-tools/ladybug">Ladybug core</a> with
visuaization + comfort capabilities, implementing energy modeling capabilities in the
<a href="https://github.com/ladybug-tools/honeybee">Honeybee core</a>, and building
<a href="./dragonfly">Dragonfly</a> to link Ladybug Tools to macro-scale modeling engines and data sets.
