[Bldg-sim] Creating a weather file

[Jim Dirkes]

Dear Khristiam,
I have been using .epw files from www.weatheranalytics.com in the last couple of years, and recommend that you look at their site because their files are more complete than what you might put together from www.wunderground.com. (and inexpensive, too!)
However, I made a another method to collect data from Wunderground before Weather Analytics was founded, and I have attached the executable file as well as the source code.  Warning!  I have not used this for a couple of years and am not sure if it still works properly.
Finally, someone posted an Excel file on this forum or the EnergyPlus forum with a macro to pull information from Wunderground - I have included that, too.

Hi there

Have anyone experience in creating a new weather file from wunderground data?

This is my case: I use the Caracas file download from the EnergyPlus site converted to eQuest format but I live in other hotter city, Puerto Ordaz that has a wunderground station working since last april.

Thank you very much!
