iVN Weather Data Instructions
iVN Energy simulations require reference weather data for the location of the building. A set of standard simulation weather files are included within the iVN installation or it can read any *.fwt or *.epw simulation weather file. Resources are provided here to give routes to acquire additional weather files that may be used in simulations.
How to load a weather file
To load a weather file from the install set click on Homepages >> Import >> Weather Data then click the Browse icon. This looks initially at any files saved inside the iVN weather files folder, but you may browse to a new file you have saved anywhere else on your local machine.
When the desired file is set you can then click Import to bring it into the project ready for simulation.
When you wish to use a new weather file in the project it can be chosen form the Model Location Properties.
