Re: [EnergyPlus_Support] Just one more question

[David Barrera <davidabraham_b@xxxxxxxxx>]

I know that Energy Plus needs the information about
Location (latitude, longitud, elevation) in order to
get data about solar radiation; is that true? But if
I'm not running a weather file simulation, and I enter
Location values, where does EPlus take the information
from? I think that it's capable to get that
information about solar radiation just with location
information BUT ONLY for regions in the US; but what
happens when the building I'm working with is not in
the USA? 
Thanks again.
