[Bldg-sim] Fwd: Problems in compiling the weather data files of IBPSA

[Crawley, Drury]

The format for the weather data and what each variable means within the
EPW file is given in the EnergyPlus Auxiliary Programs document
(available from the EnergyPlus web site).  This includes the ranges
expected for each variable. The CSV created by the EnergyPlus Weather
Converter has column headings for the hourly data where the EPW does
not.

Dear all:

I am facing problems in writing the inner data within the weather file.

Finally, It is easy to write the generated or measured data into a text
file then it is also easy to convert it into epw or even wea. But there
seem some errors within the original conversion from the original epw
into text (csv) which i started with to write in.  Consequently all the
conversions later made in the opposite direction from csv to epw
conclude epw with inner writing errors. 
This appear in the DesignBuilder or even in the ECOTECT.


The issue is what is the correct format with appropriate headers of the
location long and lat, ....etc. So that the later conversions should
read from any package that uses epw or wea.  Can you gide to some one
who is expert in such data files issues? 

One of the problems that i found in DB, it doesn't accept any no. of
days in the year 2002, i tried to delete the extra days once and twice
but it didn't work.


A help would be appreciated.

Best regards,
Mohamad.
