More helpful Weather Helper and Terrain Helper [v3.37.0]

13 June 2024, in Zurich & Singapore

This is our third response to the feedback acquired from the 2023 CEA User Meeting and the Integrated Design Project Course at ETH Zurich.

• Instead of a .epw weather file importer, Weather Helper now auto searches for and downloads the weather file that best matches the location of your scenario from the web.
• Instead of producing a flat terrain, Terrain Helper now generates a terrain file reflecting the actual topography of your scenario from the web.
• We enhanced the Energy demand feature so that you will encounter fewer overheating errors for smaller buildings. Please report to us if your overheating error persists.

P.S. Remember that the new Helper scripts require Internet access to work!
