Import Ground Temp - [source code]

Use this component to visualise ground temperatures throughout the year at specific depths. Please note that epw files usually only provide ground temperature data at depths 0.5 meters, 2 meters and 4 meters thus data has been interpolated for all other depths. In particular this interpolation assumes that ground temperatures do not vary over the seasons once the depth has reach 9 meters below the ground surface. -

Inputs

• epwFile [Required]

  An .epw file path on your system as a string

• visualisedata_Season []

  Set to true to visualise the ground temperature data as an average for every season

• visualisedata_Month []

  Set to true to visualise the ground temperature data for every month

Outputs

• readMe!

• groundtemp1st

  In every epw file there are monthly ground temperatures at 3 different depths this is the 1st

  In every epw file there are monthly ground temperatures at 3 different depths this is the 2nd

• groundtemp3rd

  In every epw file there are monthly ground temperatures at 3 different depths this is the 3rd
