All,
I'm running a comparative simulation where the building details remain same but the location changes. Is there a way to change the weather file in the detailed design mode? It didn't seem to work when I changed the file path under the project tab in the component tree.
Any input is appreciated.
Thanks,
Pallavi
You can right click the pd2 file and open with a text editor. Change the weather file path here also.
In detailed mode, the weather file appears under the first tab 'Project & Site', first sub-form 'Project Data', and section 'Building Location & Utility Rates'. You will have to save the '.bin' weather file in the eQUEST 'Weather' sub-folder first. Example: to switch from TMY2 Minneapolis to TMY2 Chicago replace TMY2\MINNEAMN with TMY2\CHICAGIL. You will get a warning message regarding 'Site Properties' and be able to open this form and make the changes. The '.bin' file should have the latitude & longitude (and maybe ground temps) and it could be left blank. Solar-Daylighting & Terrain come with defaults
