[EnergyPlus_Support] Re: About epw files...

First of all,
Thank you very much for your response...

	  Latitude	Longitude	Elevation(m)	Time Zone.
Antalya     36.7	 30.73	              57             2
Erzurum	    39.95	 41.17	            1758	     2
Diyarbakir  37.88	 40.2	             677	     2


I think that I can supply average temperature of 10 years for these cities from Turkish State Meteorological Service as a student.If I know of what kind of weather data are needed by Energy Plus community,I can try to obtain from Meteorological Service.I would like to help about this subject..
