Site & climate · Thermal

Export and print

Print the thermal study, make a one-page site climate board, download the climate card, or save the scheme file.

Everything here is under Export ▾ in the toolbar. Who can download what is the same in every tool; see Exports.

Print / Save as PDF prints the page as shown, every card included. In the print window, pick a printer or save as PDF.

Thermal has no chart-only image export. For a picture to drop into a deck, use the board.

Make a site climate board #

Click ▦ Board for the one-page site climate board: temperature bands, the design numbers and the climate zone, with wind, precipitation and sun, on one landscape page. With the board showing, Export ▾ has it as SVG and as PNG (for Pinup or slides), and Print / Save as PDF prints it on the paper you pick above it. See The site climate board.

Download the climate card #

Download as text saves the station's climate card as a Markdown (.md) file: monthly temperatures, design temperatures, degree days and more, in tables you can paste into notes or a report.

Save the scheme file #

Scheme file (.json) saves the scheme (its name and station) as a file. Open it again with Import. The project's climate zone belongs to the project, not the scheme, so it isn't in the file.

Every number comes from a typical-year station record. It's a design aid, not engineering: check design values against your engineer's recommendations and local records.
