[Bldg-sim] Binned weather data for US (not the equest weather file)

[Joe Huang]

Jason,

Thanks for the information.  You mean I can now throw out the old copy of the blue AF 
manual that I've been keeping for all these years?
I haven't checked out this new revision, but I would like to point out that the blurb on 
the Web says that there are 800 worldwide locations
in the manual, whereas the ASHRAE Weather Data Viewer contains over 5,600.  On a cost per 
station basis, the two are exactly the same
($17/800 == $119/5600 = 2.1 cents per station)  :-) :-)

Joe
