Thanks for the quick response, Varkie. However, I need a format that I can
get for free. I requested the real time weather files from
http://apps1.eere.energy.gov/buildings/energyplus/weatherdata_download.cfm
These are in CSV format. Any suggestions on converting these into BIN?

Hello, 

I am trying to convert real time hourly weather files (taken from the
energyplus request site) into a .bin file to use in eQuest. I have been
referencing the instructions:

http://bepan.info/yahoo_site_admin/assets/docs/7_-_Customizing_eQUEST_Weathe
r_Data_by_Jeff_Hirsch.138125735.pdf

However, the instructions refer to an excel document that I cannot find. I
did find one here (Item 12):

http://bepan.info/weather

But I am not sure if this will work. Does anyone have an easier approach?
Any advice would be much appreciated!

Thanks, 
Christina
