Weather Manager
Used to view and manipulate
weather profile data, copy weather profiles into the active project, and load
weather profile data from external data files. Weather Manager presents weather
profile data in an easy to read and interactive user interface. Weather data
included with the weather profiles, once saved to your project, is used in
steady state calculations, prescriptive calculations, and energy simulations.
| Setting | Description |
|---|---|
| Application | Click to view the Application weather profiles. Application weather profiles are files stored in the OpenBuildings Energy Simulator application folders. Application weather profiles are read only (marked with a lock icon), but can be copied rendering them read-writable. |
| Project | Click to view the Project weather profiles. Project weather profiles are files stored in the active project folder that contain the weather data used by your project. The default project weather profile is defined in Regional Defaults. To change it, a weather profile must be copied from the Application weather profiles or imported from an external data file. |
| Tab and Data Panels | Weather Manager is divided into two main panels. A weather profiles panel (left) used to select and manipulate application and project weather profiles, and a data panels display (right) used to view and edit the weather data. See the "tab" and "weather data" topic links below for details. |
| OK | Closes Weather Manager, and applies all current changes. |
| Cancel | Closes Weather Manager, without applying changes. |
| Apply | Applies all current changes made, but does not close Weather Manager. |
| Notifications | Used to validate application/project data and resolve issues with application/project data in real time (as it is being entered in the data manager dialogs) via errors, warnings and messages. |
