EnergyPlus does not automatically adjust the data for a new
location.
The EPW format allows for minutes -- the only data we have is
all hourly. The 5th field is mins (usually 60) in all the existing
EPWs. See the Auxiliary Programs guide for more information on the EPW
format. http://energyplus.gov/pdfs/auxiliaryprograms.pdf

Subject: [EnergyPlus_Support] Solar radiation data in the weather file.
Hi All,
I have two questions regarding to the solar radiation data in
weather file.
1. If the downloaded weather data from DOE website is from
airport, does E+ do an auto-scale for the actual simulation
place which is 20 miles away from airport, given the correct latitude and
longitude ? As we all know that the sky condition is changed from
place to place.
2. If my measured data is in terms of minutes,
where can I input these data into the weather file (e.g. the simulation time
step could be 10 minutes)? The time format of the weather file is in hours.
Thank you very much!
Bing
