Important Note for Mac Users
The creators of the Climate Consultant application report that the latest Mac version will not run on Mac OS 13 (Ventura), Mac OS 14 (Sonoma), or Mac OS 15 (Sequoia) due to incompatibilities with the graphics package used by the programmers.
You can use Climate Consultant on Windows-based computers or Macs using Parallels Desktop.
Alternative to Climate Consultant -- CBE Clima Tool
The Center for the Built Environment offers a web-based tool to support climate analysis specifically designed to support the need of architects and engineers interested in climate-adapted design. It allows users to analyze the climate data of more than 27,500 locations worldwide from both Energy Plus and Climate.One.Building.org.
You can, however, also choose to upload your own EPW weather file. Our tool can be used to analyze and visualize data contained in EnergyPlus Weather (EPW) files. It furthermore calculates a number of climate-related values (i.e. solar azimuth and altitude, Universal Thermal Climate Index (UTCI), comfort indices, etc.) that are not contained in the EPW files but can be derived from the information therein contained.
You can access the CBE Clima Tool at:
