The CBE Clima Tool is a free and open-source web application tailored to climate analysis for sustainable building design. Ideal for students, educators, and professionals in architecture and engineering, it provides interactive visualizations of weather data from over 27,500 global locations or user-uploaded EPW files.
The tool not only displays variables from EnergyPlus Weather (EPW) files but also calculates additional values like solar azimuth and altitude, Universal Thermal Climate Index (UTCI), and comfort indices, offering deeper insights into climate conditions.
With its intuitive interface, users can explore climate data to inform energy-efficient and climate-adaptive building designs. The tool also provides easy access to publicly available EPW files, bridging the gap between climate data and practical design solutions.
