Weather Data of Bhutan(Located in Asia) is Missing in Energy setting In Energy Analysis in Open Building Designers

Question

I am doing research using Open Building Designer. I am trying to simulate the building using Energy Analysis from Open Building Designer. But, I am not able to find the weather data of ''Bhutan'' in Energy Setting. 
 
 I would be grateful if sirs/madams can put the weather data of Bhutan in Software. 
 I have attached the documents to this mail so that you can easily recognize my problems. 
 
 Note : Bhutan is located between China and India.

Thank you,

Hi Choten, 
 This post seems to have been missed for quite some time as it appears to have been in the wrong place - please note for any Energy Simulator queries you should instead use the following forum: 
 Energy Simulation Forum - OpenBuildings | AECOsim | Speedikon - Bentley Communities 
 To answer your question; the locations available in the software are those provided by Meteonorm, so we have little input into their properties. However there are some things you can do to accomplish this - most simply you could just select the closest available location as this should have near identical conditions - for example the below is just over the border in India: 
 
 Alternatively, should you require Bhutan specifically you could obtain the weather files you require, and then import these into the software - please find guidance below:

Hello Barry, 
 
 Hope you had a good weekend! In Energy Simulator we have the facility to select fuel type or fuel resource for your building, Under Properties of the building. You can find it by right-clicking on the building from the project tree and roll down to the economics section, as shown below:

Thanks,
