Re: [EnergyPlus_Support] Weather data for Hong Kong





There is a weather file for Macau on the EnergyPlus web site:

http://www.energyplus.gov/cfm/weatherdata_int.cfm#MAC

Location -- MACAU MAC
      {N 22° 12'} {E 113° 31'} {GMT +8.0 Hours}
 Elevation --    86m above sea level

Only a half-degree west of Hong Kong.  There wasn't sufficient high-quality
data available
for Hong Kong when ASHRAE was constructing the IWEC.

Since it appears your data is nearly in Comma-separated-value format
(CSV)--you
can rearrange the columns in Excel and then process them using the Weather
Converter.  (The CSV format from the Weather Converter is not documented in
the Weather Converter documentation.)  The easiest way to look at what the
Weather Converter expects is to take an existing EPW file and convert it
back to
CSV (one of the options).  Then you can arrange your data to match.

Dear all,

I am Zhongping. I have a question about the weather data file.

How can I get the weather data (IWEC) for Hong Kong? The weather
data file for Hong Kong is not available in this website:
http://simulationresearch.lbl.gov/.

I have got a weather data file for Hong Kong, however, it is a kind
of format for HTB2 (also a kind of simulation software developed by
a university in UK) instead of epw format. The weather data in the
file include the following hourly data: dry bulb temperature (C),
dew point temperature (C), wind speed (m/s) and direction (degree
from north), solar irritation (W/m2) (global horizontal, diffuse
horizontal and direct normal), cloud cover (tenths obscured).

I have tried to convert this file into an EnergyPlus format file
using the weather converter in the directory:
Energyplus/PreProcess/Weatherconverter but fail.

It is possible to convert a weather data file, whose format are
different from those formats such as TMY, IWEC, DOE-2 format, Blast
Format, ESP-r format, SAMSON, etc. to the EnergPlus format weather
data file? If possible, how?

Thanks!

Zhongping
