Re: [EnergyPlus_Support] [Help]Weather data

Allen,

If you are interested in creating historical year weather data for an 
international location, the most tractable method relatively is to order the 
weather data from the National Climatic Data Center in Asheville, North 
Carolina  (orders@xxxxxxxxxxxxx, I think) in TD-3505 format, and then create 
the *.epw file from the raw data. You will have to deal with missing data, 
filter out bad records,  and most critically, estimating the solar radiation 
from the existing cloud information.  However, the cost for thec raw data in 
quite reasonable ( ~ USD 100), and the turnaround is quick because it's now 
done via e-mail.

Alternatively, for Singapore you can order the weather data, including 
solar, from the local meteorological service, but the cost for one year's 
data will be in the four figures (US dollars).  A colleague and I have done 
exactly this for an ASHRAE project, but unfortunately for you, we got 
Singapore data for 1999.
