<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 face=Arial><span style='font-size:10.0pt;
font-family:Arial'>I have read various posts on how to change or reset your
weather file, but I still can’t fix my weather file for a model I am
doing. The project is located in <st1:City w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">San
Jose</st1:place></st1:City>, CA. When I tell the model that, it retrieves the
weather file for <st1:City w:st="on">San Francisco</st1:City>, which has quite
different weather from <st1:City w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">San Jose</st1:place></st1:City>.
They aren’t even in the same <st1:State w:st="on">California</st1:State>
climate zone; SF is in 3 and <st1:City w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">San Jose</st1:place></st1:City>
is in 4. So I went on the eQUEST website and downloaded the .bin file for
climate zone 4. I have been editing my file in detailed mode, so going back
into the wizard isn’t really a good option. I went into the site
properties in detailed edit mode and tried to change the weather file name from
“TMY2\SAN-FRCA.bin” (the file the program automatically downloaded
from the DOE2 website) to CZ2\CZ04.bin (Climate zone 4 weather file stored in
the default folder). When I ran the model, it just asked to download the
SAN-FRCA.bin file again. So I set the City/Location to “undefined”
and typed in “CZ2\CZ04.bin” into the weather file input and it
still tried to retrieve the San Fran file from the website. It doesn’t want
to use any other file. I even changed my location to another state and it didnt
change anything. Any suggestions? Thanks.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
