Abstract :
[en] The Climate Tool is a simple to use, graphic-based computer program that helps architects, urban planners and builders, and students understand their local climate in hot humid regions. It uses annual 8760 hour EPW format climate data that is made available at no cost by the Department of Energy for thousands of weather stations around the world. The Climate Tool translates this raw climate data into two graphic displays. The purpose is to plot climate data and represent this information in easy-to-understand ways that show the subtle attributes of climate, and its impact on built form. The goal is to help users create more energy efficient, more sustainable buildings in hot humid cities.
