White Box Technologies is pleased to announce the launch of WBT Weather 
Data for Energy Calculations, a web site providing instant Web access to 
typical year and historical year weather files for thousands of 
locations around the world created from recorded weather data going back 
as far as 30 years to as recent as the past week.  This website has been 
created by a long-time building energy modeler with several decades' 
experience in processing weather data for use in building energy 
simulations.

For typical year data, this Web site features ASHRAE's IWEC2 weather 
files for 3,012 international locations, as well as TMY3, CWEC2, and 
CZ2010 weather files for US, Canadian, and California locations, 
respectively.  IWEC2 weather files cost $35 each, the other sets are 
public data hosted with permission and are free.

For historical data, this Web site contains weather files from 2007 to 
2012 for over 10,000 locations around the world, including over 1,500 in 
the US and 300 in Canada. Older weather files going back to 1980 are 
also available and can be be generated on request. The historical 
weather files have been processed by WBT and cost $50 each. A typical 
year weather file can also be produced on request for any location with 
7 or more years of historical data.

All weather files are provided in two formats: *.BINM for use in 
DOE-2-derived programs and *.EPW for use in EnergyPlus-derived programs, 
including the DDY file. The IWEC2 files also contain an archival *.CSV 
format, and the historical files an archival *.FIN4 format.  Discount 
prices for large orders and subscriptions are also available.
