Am I reading this correctly that DB only accepts weather files with the year as 2002?  If that's true, what's the reason? Does that mean DB is never used for simulations with actual historical weather data?

ÂDear Linda,
Thank you very much for the help. Yes, they have a converter that converts all the years to 2002. I will reach out to you if I need further help.

ÂYou can have both installed. No problem at all. When exporting from DB to e+ just check the version of the final file. You might need to update the e+ file to a later version if your DB version is a bit old.Â
