[BLDG-SIM] TMY2 Data Conversion to Bin Data

[Randy Wilkinson]

Yes...I have a program that converts TMY2 weather data to bin weather 
data.  I ask only $25 to license it. 

However, it does not use the binary versions of the TMY2 files that DOE2 
uses.  It requires the ASCII version of the TMY2 files.  These file are 
avainable for 239 US cities, FREE , thanks to the US government.

One of the big problems with bin weather data that has been previously 
published, is that it is usually not itemized for occupied hours vs 
unoccupied hours.  Or, if anything, it is itemized for three 8 hour 
periods each day.  My program allows you to specify the occupied hours 
and then creates 2 sets of bin weather data for the year...Occupied and 
Unoccupied.

My program also has a mode to extract the 8760 hours of temperature 
data, if that's what you really want.  I suspect that since this program 
does a good job of separating occupied bins from unoccupied bins, you 
won't need the 8760 weather data.
