Re: [EnergyPlus_Support] Weather Files Assistance

I thought he meant latitude, which is part of the weather file. If a 
weather file is chosen the specifics in that weather file (e.g., 
latitude, longitude, dry bulb, etc.) are used when a weather file 
simulation is performed (see SimulationControl object), otherwise the 
site location and sizing period data is used (again see 
SimulationControl object). You can print out report variables to verify 
the actual weather data is being used. See the rdd file for valid report 
variables for a simulation The rdd file is generated during a simulation 
and is only available after a simulation is performed since the 
variables in the rdd file are specific to the inputs specified for a 
particular simulation.

Output:Variable,*,Outdoor Dry Bulb,hourly; !- Zone Average [C]
Output:Variable,*,Outdoor Dew Point,hourly; !- Zone Average [C]
Output:Variable,*,Outdoor Wet Bulb,hourly; !- Zone Average [C]
Output:Variable,*,Outdoor Humidity Ratio,hourly; !- Zone Average 
[kgWater/kgAir]
Output:Variable,*,Outdoor Relative Humidity,hourly; !- Zone Average [%]
Output:Variable,*,Outdoor Barometric Pressure,hourly; !- Zone Average [Pa]

Output:Variable,*,Liquid Precipitation,hourly; !- Zone Average [mm]
