Visualizing heat index

I would like to have a graphical presentation of the heat index during heat waves in a building in the tropics. Something similar to this:

This image is from this study by Luo et al. (Figure 7, if my uploaded image isn't working)

How do I achieve a similar graph to this? I am using OpenStudio and can generate the Heat Index using the Annual Thermal Resilience Summary, however it only shows number of hours and I can only graph this with a bar chart.

@mther can you try to upload your image again? It looks like you didn't have enough karma points when you created this post.

You can plot the heat index for each zone. The description for how to do this is here: https://openstudiocoalition.org/getti...

Zone,Average,Zone Heat Index [C]
Zone,Average,Zone Humidity Index []

Output:Variable,*,Zone Heat Index, Hourly;
Output:Variable,*,Zone Humidity Index, Hourly;
