[EnergyPlus_Support] Re: regarding using "Dhaka_SWERA.epw" weather file

["L Lawrie" <linda@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

You can read about the SWERA files and how they were formulated in the EnergyPlus weather web site and the Auxiliary Programs document.

The stats file will show you design conditions that the weather converter has determined from the file. It's up to you to decide if those are appropriate for long term design conditions.  You could plug some of those numbers into the design day format.

There is also the SizingPeriod:WeatherFileDays or SizingPeriod:WeatherFileConditionType which could be used.

Read about Site:WeatherStation.  Most standard weather files will have been measured at those standard conditions.  The object is more for local/building weather stations.

If you want to use the Site:HeightVariation -- I would first simulate without it and then decided if you need it.
