This said, I don't think that we necessarily have to let the pressure of the release drive this issue and we can also just as easily do the release and then make these changes soon after.  If we are close to having everything ready, we might as well just make it a part of the release, though.\r\n\r\nIn honesty, I have not gotten the chance to test the hot water components much but I have the sense that they have been there long enough with enough pull requests / bug fixes to the core renewables components over the last few months that they can emerge from the WIP section. @stgeorges , please confirm whether you think my sense is correct.  I also noticed that you had an improved version of the TOF component in one of the example files you sent me on another issue and, if you have a timeline for another version of this component, please let us know here.\r\n\r\nAs far as what will happen once we move the hot water components out, I could imagine 2 scenarios:\r\n\r\n**OPTION 1** -  We load them all into the same Panel 4 of the EnvironmentalAnalysis Tab.  The less critical components to only show up in the drop-down and/or in a 5th panel on the EnvironmentalAnalysis tab.\r\n\r\n**OPTION 2** - 15 components really seems sufficient to have a completely separate tab in Ladybug and so we could add a 4 | Renewables tab.  This would cause Ladybug to  follow the structure of the [plugin diagrams](https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/1e_XmZj31HTAKlYL0SCmzD8q2hmjLXSnKVHeBBrw8rpw/edit#slide=id.g11504c007a_0_3) with 4 core capabilities in total.  In this case, I think we would fully defer to your judgement @stgeorges about how to structure the panels and location of the components within this new tab.\r\n\r\nOf these two options, I am leaning more towards option 2 with a new Renewables tab but let me know if you feel otherwise or if there are other options that I have not listed here.\r\n\r\nLooking forward to the discussion!"}}
