Setting Location and Climate Data for the Cooling Load Calculation
Shows step-by-step how to select location and climate data for your project.
Before you begin
You have recorded a building and want to set the location of your project for accurate determination of the dynamic cooling load.
Navigate to:
Procedure
- Use the Country and Weather Station drop-down lists to select the location of your project. Note:
If your project location is not listed, select the nearest location or set a user-defined location using a TRY file.
The weather data for the selected project location are applied and the temperature profile data are adjusted.
- Optional: In the Project location section, change the name of the project location.
The name of the project location is given in the printout.
- Optional: Change the height, longitude and latitude.
- Optional: Change the climate zone and the height of the reference station.
Starting from a height difference of 650 m between reference station and project location, the cooling load is calculated with appropriate correction factors.
Results
The location and climate data are set correctly. The underlying data is used for the cooling load calculation.
