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

Hey Rohini,
Why not download the weather files and bin them yourself using Excel. It's
free and it's not rocket science (hint: COUNTIFS will do the trick)
Check NREL's website if you want TMY3 data (either search for a single
location or download all of all stations - 228 MB - 2GB when extracted)
http://rredc.nrel.gov/solar/old_data/nsrdb/1991-2005/tmy3/
The list of stations is in TMY3_StationsMeta.csv
And if you need daily temperature for example, check NOAA's website (also
free)
Best,
Julien
