Design Day Cooling Loads

We are trying to compare solar loads for different months, but it seems the period feature is now not included in the latest version (1.02.007). How do you check the loads for different months in this new version?

We had to disable the summertime design period feature in version 1.0.2 because of a technical difficulty. The current version of DesignBuilder assumes that the design month is July in the northern hemisphere and January in the southern hemisphere. The cooling design period feature should be reinstated it in a future version to allow you to check the loads for different months of the year.
