Re: [EnergyPlus_Support] Weather File of Version 6

[Linda Lawrie <linda@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

nothing particular to be gained by reducing the size of the
weather file if it already contains 8760 hours of data.

yes, all versions of EnergyPlus (including V6) can accept shorter weather
files, approrpriately formatted.
there has never been a limitation for EnergyPlus.

Of course, the run period used in the IDF must correlate to the data on
the file.
