Trace 700 Weather File Modifications

Topic: Trace 700 ships with a fixed set of weather files that are all installed with the program. Use the following procedure to modify a weather file for a new location.

• Find a weather file that's close
• Save as to new file name
• Edit the file and change if necessary the latitude, longitude and elevation
• Do not change any of the temperatures
• In the project weather screen, override the winter & summer design temperatures with the design temperatures for the new location.
• All hour by hour weather data will be shifted proportionally based on the difference between the design temperatures.
• Drawback: You have to remember to use the override every time

Note: This is an outline procedure, it will be updated as time permits.
