Export and print

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

Export the wind rose #

• Wind rose — SVG: the rose with its title, months and source, to edit in Illustrator or Inkscape.
• Wind rose — PNG: the same picture as an image, for Pinup or slides.

Both use the months you picked. The file name says which.

Print the page #

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

The site climate board #

The board is one landscape page for a site's climate: wind rose, temperature bands, precipitation, sun path, solar radiation and the design numbers, with the climate zone and the caveats. It's the same in all four climate tools.

1. Click ▦ Board in the toolbar.
2. Above the board, pick the paper: 11×17 landscape (tabloid) or 8.5×11 landscape (letter).
3. Open Export ▾.

While the board is showing, Export ▾ has:

• Site climate board — SVG: the board, dated today.
• Site climate board — PNG (for Pinup / slides): add the PNG to a Pinup deck's images to put it on a page.
• Print / Save as PDF: prints the board on the paper you picked.

Click the tool's name button (where ▦ Board was) to go back to the study. The board is only a view: nothing about it is saved with the scheme.

Save the scheme file #

Scheme file (.json) saves the scheme (its name and station) as a file. Open it again with Import in any copy of the tool.

Download the climate card #

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

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.
