[Bldg-sim] Weather file for Istanbul, Turkey

[Joe Huang]

If you're using the weather file with IES Radiance, you should make sure that the weather 
file contains Daylight Illuminances (Global, Direct Normal, Diffuse,Zenith, etc.), and not 
just the Solar Radiation, which indicates the amount of heat rather than light. Both of 
the two following weather files contain illuminance data, albeit they're all calculated:

There is an old ASHRAE IWEC weather file for Istanbul (circa 2001) in EPW format that can 
be downloaded for free from the EnergyPlus Weather web site.

There is  a new ASHRAE IWEC2 weather file for Istanbul (circa 2010) that is available at 
my Web site, but it is not free.  IWEC2 weather files are based on recorded weather 
station data for 12 to 25 years, and available for 3,012 locations outside the US and Canada.

For more info on  purchasing individual IWEC2 weather files, please go to
