[EnergyPlus_Support] Re: weather station

i read the E+ documentation last nigth and it says that EnergyPlus 
must run for one full year. 
How do we make E+ run for just one week or one month? Thanks, ooi

because EnergyPlus assumes by default that the weather file values 
for wind speed and air temperature are made at the standard World 
Meteorological Organization (WMO) measurement conditions:

conditions for your weather station on top of the building, for 
example, the actual height of your measurements.  See the Input 
Output Reference for full documentation.  Another option to achieve 
the same effect is to preprocess and extrapolate your custom weather 
data to match WMO measurement assumptions before you put it in the 
weather file--which is essentially the same thing that WEATHER 
STATION does for you automatically.
