[Bldg-sim] Sources for Actual Weather Data

[Bishop, Bill]

Historical weather data is available for free at this link:
http://www.wunderground.com/history/
I do not know, however, how hard it would be to import this data into
any of the programs we are using.  It looks like it would be easy enough
to create design days from this data.

The source data for the TMY3 (1991-2005) is available from the National
Climatic Data Center:

http://ols.nndc.noaa.gov/plolstore/plsql/olstore.prodspecific?prodnum=C0
0668-TAP-A0001

Scroll down--you can download individual locations--you don't have to
buy the entire data set ($500).

I finally got around to looking at the nrel.gov link referenced in the
post below and found that it's not actual weather data, but it's TMY3
data.

Does anyone know where to find, for example, the actual, hour-by-hour,
just-the-way-it-really-happened,  weather data for 2003 in Grand Rapids,
MI?

Thanks!

I'm modeling an existing building in Trane Trace and have utility data
for the last two years.  I'd like to replace the TMY2 weather data in my

model with actual hourly data.   Can anyone point me to information on 
where to obtain real hourly data in TMY2 format?
