Hi Kyle, Not being in the US we only get a few locations. If you override this with site specific coordinates how does it impact IES? Does it calculate based on the nearest "list location" (climate etc)?

For example I can choose Auckland or Wellington but what if the actual location is halfway between them?

Hi Kyle, I am in Australia and I know that I can set Location for places in Australia and other places outside of North America but I was wondering if I can set the Postal Code setting and if not will this create a conflict with my gbXML output being read by other programs?

Robin,
The IES VE consumes the coordinates defined in the Project Information of your Revit Project.

It checks that against the weather points available in our database, and chooses the location that's closest.

If the point you've chosen is EXACTLY in the middle, I'm not sure what point would be chosen. It would probably tear a hole in the space/time continuum and such your machine into a black hole. :-)

Peter,
It depends on what the consuming application chooses to use as the basis for the building location. You are correct that there's no coordination check between the Postal Code and Lat/Long coordinates.

I know that GBS consumes the Postal Code, IES consumes the Lat/Long. Not sure about Trane Trace or Carrier HAP.
