[BLDG-SIM] new - freeware bin data generator

[Randy Wilkinson]

Would anyone like to try out my new FREEWARE program to generate bin 
temperature data from TMY2 data?  I'm looking for feedback on ways to 
make it more useful.  Download the self extracting zip file by entering this 
URL:  

   http://www.hvacware.net/tmy2bin.exe 

There is no link from my site to this program.  You must type the above 
URL to start the download. 

This program converts TMY2 weather files to bin weather data for quick 
energy calulations.  It considers the dry bulb temperature only. And 
currently, only US imperial units. Your can choose to create 2 degree, 4 
degree, 5 degree, or 10 degree temperature bins.  

TMY2 weather data files are available for free on the Internet.  See the 
README.TXT file for details. 

This program is written in Visual Basic 6.  If you would like the VB6 source 
code, or you have suggestions, email me at:
