[EnergyPlus_Support] Re: Defining DesignDays based on the weather file

Thanks for your advise, the include would certainly make the macro shorter.

What I have not figure out, is the way to learn the location from the Weather File, i.e. the 725300 (or the weather file name itself, or the "Chicago Ohare Intl Ap, or whatever particular information I could get to use in the ##if) as a variable; in the macro below, the "Site".

My problem boils down to: Can I know the site location from the Weather file inside the macro?
