Re: [EnergyPlus_Support] re: converting DOE2 binary files into EPW files anyone?

["Joe Huang" <yjhuang@xxxxxxx>]

PC,

You should be aware that DOE-2 binary weather files save temperatures in 
integer F and solar radiation in integer BTU/ft2, so any such file converted 
to EPW will lose precision compared to the original source data.  In other 
words, the resulting decimal on these EPW files is good only to 0.3 C 
precision, not 0.1 C.
