[Bldg-sim] Fwd: Problems in compiling the weather data files of IBPSA

[M F A Ramadan]

Thanks for the reply Linda; actually i don't use EnergyPlus: 

I had new global radiation data which is needed to be written in the weather
data data file. This will be used for indoor comfort simulation studies.

I used the ECOTECT5.6 conversion tool to have a csv. Hence the new data has been
written into this csv.  The opposite way is applied, Using ECOTECT conversion
tool to generate an epw to be used with DB later on.

DB at any way didn't accept the final epw with my data, it always say "year 2001
month2 has 32 days" despite i have removed these extra days many times !!


Any suggestions !!

Many thanks,
Mohamad.
