[EnergyPlus_Support] editing weather file

[zeynep arsan <arsanzeynep@xxxxxxxxx>]

Dear Group Members,

 

I would like to know your experience about editing epw files to load measured climatic data, since I have troubles within explained below. I even do a minor change, e.g. change of DBTemperature form 4.6 to 4.8, I got the below error.

 

I am using DB Hourly weather data converter. I first convert epw to csv file format. I use excel to edit it. After doing a minor change, I save it as the csv file. Lastly, I convert back from csv to epw. When I use the edited epw file, I got the EP error output, below.

 

Program Version,EnergyPlusDLL 2.2.0.025, 21.06.2010 16:25,IDD_Version 2.2.0.025

** Warning ** Requested Time Steps in Hour (2) is less than the suggested minimum of 4.
