Location Templates

Location Templates are a database of locations from around the world based on the latest ASHRAE design weather data used by EnergyPlus.

Each Location data set is located within a 'Legislative Region'. Most Regions in Europe include some basic data on the energy codes which apply.

There are four tabs on the Location Template dialog:

• Location
• Winter design weather
• Summer design weather
• Simulation weather

Note: There is no direct link between hourly weather data and the ASHRAE design values on the Winter and Summer design data tabs.

Template data can be accessed:

• from the Templates tab on the opening screen (if no file is open),
• from the Templates tab in the Navigator panel (if a file is open),
• by double-clicking on the template icon in the model data,
• by clicking on the Edit button when selecting templates from a list.
