RE: [EnergyPlus_Support] modifying weathr file
Li,
Hopefully you have already found the weather information in AuxiliaryPrograms.pdf.
1) From your measurements, it is possible to calculate/model all the needed radiation data. But it can be quite involved and more suited to research rather than practice. I am not sure exactly what solar data you have but the Perez All Weather Sky model is useful for getting to Direct Normal Radiation and Diffuse Horizontal Radiation. (There exists fortran code from an ASHRAE research project that implements this model.) Methods for getting to Horizontal IR Intensity (or Sky Cover if you prefer) are more obscure; one simple method is by Auer and implemented in TRNSYS Type69.
2) If you did manage the above, then Atmospheric Station Pressure is likely the only data you would have to leave as-is. I don't believe this would introduce much error as long as the elevations are similar.

Subject: [EnergyPlus_Support] modifying weathr file
I am trying to modify the original weather file (.epw) by using the
actual local weather data. I can get the following six parameters'
data by measurement:outside dry bulb temperature (C), outside
relative humidity (%), wind direction (deg), wind speed (m/s), solar
beam intensity (w/m2), solar normal flux (w/m2).
My questions are:
1) Besides dew point temperature, what other parameters in the
weather file can be calculated based on the six parameters mentioned
above?
2) For the parameters that can not be calculated, how should I treat
them? Can I just keep their original value in the weather file?
Thank you!
Li Zhang
