Re: [EnergyPlus_Support] GBR_Ebbw.Vale.Wales_MN6 weather file does not contain SizingPeriod:DesignDay
The MacroData sets are located in C:\EnergyPlusV6-0-0\MacroDataSets.
Open the Locations-DesignDays.xls. Then click on the WMO06 Europe tab, and then Europe_wmo_region_6_design_days link. That will open a .ZIP file containing the input macro file (IMF) for design conditions in Europe. The locations that you highlighted on the map will have design conditions listed then in .IDF format similar to the .DDY. Open the .IMF in a text editor.
For example, Cardiff Airport is shown as:

If you copy everything between the ##Ifdef line and the ##endif line, you'll have the contents of the .DDY for that location. (This will be faster than waiting on me to get you the data.)

The map provided shows ASHRAE design conditions that can be provided. Not weather data.
(They are also available from the macro data set from EnergyPlus -- Locations/DesignDays will allow you to download a set of design days).

Thanks for your quick replay. I have attached the map that you forwarded to me with same weather files that may be closer enough to the ebbw vale file. I wonder if as you mentioned in your previous e-mail, I could get them from you.
Many thanks

Unless there was design data available in the ASHRAE Handbook, the Meteonorm files that we created do not have the design day objects. Suggest finding a nearby
location with similar climate and elevation and use the data from there.
My knowledge of Wales topography and geography is poor -- if one of the pins on the attached map look close, let me know and I'll send you the data.

- Dear all,
- I wonder if you can help me in the foolowing matter.
- I download from this page the file GBR_Ebbw.Vale.Wales_MN6 which I am using in a project I am working at the moment. The problem is that this weather file does not contain any object in the section SizingPeriod:DesignDay which I think I need for sizing my HVAC, Does anyone have a file for this location with the design day objects?
- thanks
