Missing Climate Files

Post by infinity923 »

Hello,

I just downloaded and installed WUFI Light 5.1 successfully. After building my wall assembly, I attempt to select the appropriate climate file from the map and receive the following error message:

"No Climate File available for this Climate Location. Do you want to continue anyway?"

I get the same message whether selecting a location in Europe, North America, or any continent for that matter. Did I not install the program correctly? Are the climate files not included in the Light version? Is there a place to obtain climate files? I'm mostly concerned with North American locations.

Thanks for any insight.

WUFI Light only allows access to the climate data for Holzkirchen (southern Germany, slightly south of Munich).

If you are mainly interested in North American locations, you might prefer to use the WUFI ORNL/IBP version.
Free download here:

Makes sense.

Thanks Thomas! Going to download that version now.
