Hygrothermal Weather Data Sources?

Our weather data is mostly derived from a number of public sources that have been compiled at https://climate.onebuilding.org/. Where alternative weather data is required, please contact submit a Support Ticket.

For hygrothermal modelling, it is recommended that relative humidity External Conditions are manually increased by at least 10% for all simulations to replicate a Wind-driven rain source. The specific weather file is stated within the results Inputs, under the Conditions Tab.
