[BLDG-SIM] Weatherfiles europe including soilsirface temperatures

[David Bradley]

Jannes,
   I am not sure which file formats have the soil surface temperature 
in them but TRNSYS is able to read the TMY, TMY2, EnergyPlus, 
International Weather for Energy Calculations (IWEC), Canadian 
Weather for Energy Calculations (CWEC), or user-format data. The most 
extensive data for Europe I believe comes from Meteonorm in TMY2 
format and that is not a format that includes a field for soil 
surface temperature. If you are unable to find a source of soil 
surface temperatures then the two typical solutions that we have used 
are to use the Kasuda correlation (temperature is a function of depth 
and time of year), or a soil surface energy balance. Both are 
available as Types for TRNSYS.
Cheers,
  David
