Climate server still not available Updates AC25 7000/ AC26 5002

[Ian_Forbes_Architect]

Hi everyone,

We updated our Archicad 25/26 to AC25 7000 and AC26 5002 this morning because, on the Update list, GS said that they had an expired Climate Data server IP address in the previous versions and fixed it in this new update. However, the problem is still there.
Is there anyone having the same problem?
Can anyone help me with this? Since we need to use the Energy Evaluation system for a few projects.
Thanks.

Yes. i confirm also with the latest 26 update. Stil it is not connecting to the Strusoft server.

Unless the server is not working!

if you watch this video, you'll learn that the weather tables on the Strusoft server are not necessarily the best, most current.

I've gone to local sources for weather files and get quite different results. Props to Andy Thomson for lighting a fire and doing a lot of work to bring EcoDesigner to the front burner.

Yes. I know. It would be better if Graphisoft could collaborate with Meteonorm.

The weather models are far more accurate because of the weather data triangulationf of the weather stations.

Otherwise you need a subscription, if I remember correctly.
