[EnergyPlus_Support] Re: reg:indian weather data

["Linda Lawrie" <linda@xxxxxxxxxx>]

The weather data sources are talked about here:
http://www.eere.energy.gov/buildings/energyplus/weatherdata_sources.html

So, it may depend on your weather source.  You can look at the actual 
EPW format which will contain the year or run the Weather Converter and 
look at the Audit file which will also contain the actual years from 
the EPW format.

As I remember, though my memory may be faulty, the IWEC data carries 
the actual years chosen for the WEC data (WEC - Weather for Energy 
Calculation).  Offhand, I do not remember what the ISHRAE data has, 
though it too appears to be "TMY" data -- Typical Year.  We do not 
typically accept a single year for publishing on our weather data site -
- those may be used for special calculations but are not usually 
recommended for energy calculations.

I saw weather files, throughout the days of year, it is mentioned year 
1995 only, it gives me confusion.
