AW: [EnergyPlus_Support] Design Day Condition

Hi Mike

For example:

DesignDay,

DENVER COLORADO WINTER, !- DesignDayName

-17.22222, !- Maximum Dry-Bulb Temperature {C}

0.0000000E+00, !- Daily Temperature Range {C}

-17.22222, !- Wet-Bulb Temperature At MaxTemp {C}

83361.40, !- Barometric Pressure {Pa}

4.115816, !- Wind Speed {m/s}

169.0000, !- Wind Direction {deg}

0.0000000E+00, !- Sky Clearness

0, !- Rain Indicator

0, !- Snow Indicator

21, !- Day Of Month

1, !- Month

Monday, !- Day Type

0; !- Daylight Saving Time Indicator

Comparing the winter design day condition for Colorado in the idf-file with the design day conditions in the E+ directory EnergyPlus/PreProcess/WeatherConverter/DesignConditions I cannot find correlation between the Maximum Dry-Bulb Temperature and Wind Direction (see example of the idf above). Further, there is not correlation between the summer design day conditions either: for example the Maximum Dry-Bulb Temperature and there is no wind speed information in the EnergyPlus/PreProcess/WeatherConverter/DesignConditions directory.

In addition, what do the percentage classifications in the design condition files mean: 40%, 99.6%, 1%, etc.?

I would appreciate your comment.

Regards
