RE: [EnergyPlus_Support] Weather data

["Crawley, Drury" <Drury.Crawley@xxxxxxxxxx>]

You need direct normal solar radiation but that can be calculated from the global and diffuse.  Do you have wind direction?  The WeatherConverter can convert most formats to EPW format.  Read about it in the Auxiliary Programs Document.

Subject: [EnergyPlus_Support] Weather data



Hi,
My weather file contains only hourly values of:
� Air Temperature 

� Relative Humidity 

� Global Solar Radiation 

� Diffuse Horizontal Solar Radiation 

� Wind speed 

Are they sufficient to run a building simulation?
