Based on the location selected in the project information page, the weather file closest to the project site is selected. You can see the map of the weather locations being used in cove.tool here.

If the standard weather file provided needs to be changed, this can be done on the Simulation Settings page. You will need an epw file (required), ddy file (recommended) and a stat file (recommended).

Under the settings panel in the navigation tab of loadmodeling.tool you will see 2 sections - Project Settings and Weather Settings. The weather file is pre-populated based on the location set in the project information page for early-stage analysis.

Click on the text bar with the weather file name > it should automatically open a folder tab > search for the location on your PC where you have the weather files saved > select the 3 files (epw, ddy, stat) > click on open > select upload on the weather settings panel >your weather data will be updated.

Information provided in weather setting section are pulled from ddy file. If specific values are required for the summer, winter or evaporative design day, these can be manually entered into the weather file settings. Simply type in the desired value for each of these inputs based on the project requirements. Updating the Design Day Values is common for mission critical projects such as data centers and healthcare.

Q. Where can I find the ambient design temperature for my project?

A. The design day values can be found on the settings page under the weather file settings button.

Q. Is there a way to change the weather file in the climate analysis page?

A. At the moment, there is no way to import a custom weather file in the analysis.tool. However, the loadmodelling.tool has the capability to bring in your own weather files. Read the steps above for this process.

Q. Hello, i see the results populated in the climate analsis tab are for a different weather file than what I am currently using in the model. Is this a generic template or is there a way to change the weather file for this tab?
