[BLDG-SIM] [EnergyPlus_Support] Average hourly statistics for wet bulb temperatures

[Michael J. Witte]

My mistake!  You are correct that the epw-->csv conversion will only give DB, 
RH, and Dew Point.  The alternate route is to run an annual simulation with 
EnergyPlus using the weather file of interest, select "Outdoor Wet Bulb" as an 
hourly REPORT VARIABLE, and then use the csv output file to generate 
statistics.  One could even generate the averages with EnergyPlus by applying 
schedules to the report variable and reporting the scheduled value as monthly 
averages.
