[Bldg-sim] Weather data conversion tools?

[Jason Glazer]

Ian,

The EnergyPlus format is not a binary but simply a text 
file and it is comma delimitted so it should go into a 
spreadsheet easily.  The fields in the file are described 
in the OtherInformation.PDF file that can be downloaded 
from the www.energyplus.gov site (click on the "weather and 
other utilities" link on the left under "other 
information").
