Different Design Strategies are represented by specific zones on this chart. Each dot on the chart represents the temperature and humidity of each of the 8760 hours per year. The Psychrometric Chart is one of the more advanced features available in Climate Consultant. The goal is to help users create more energy efficient, more sustainable buildings, each of which is uniquely suited to its particular spot on this planet. The purpose is not simply to plot climate data, but rather to organize and represent this information in easy-to-understand ways that show the subtle attributes of climate, and its impact on built form. Climate Consultant translates this raw climate data into dozens of meaningful graphic displays. **) The graphics package in Ventura is not backwards compatible, so Climate Consultant and some of our other programs will not run on Ventura. Our recommendation is to use a prior Mac OS or a Windows partition. Some users run under Parallels but the 3D plots cannot load.Ĭlimate Consultant 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.
