RE: [EnergyPlus_Support] GBR_Ebbw.Vale.Wales_MN6 weather file does not contain SizingPeriod:DesignDay

[YuanLu Li <yli006@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

There are some wind speed and direction data in the .stat file.

I picked 200 to give you a warmer condition.

As pointed out by the experts, the MN6 file is not the same as ASHRAE data.  So do use with care.

As the design day sizing is the first step in simulation, the exact value is not that  important.  Remember to adjust and verify  the equipment size when you are doing the actual simulation.

During the actual annual simulation run, the design day sizing run is not required.

I used the daily local extreme weather condition in the design day object for building design  studies.

Dear Dr Li,

I have a query about wind direction where does the 200 degree figure come from?

Thanks

For locations such as Ebbw Vale where there are not design conditions in the ASHRAE Handbook, the design condtions noted in the .STAT for THIS FILE ONLY -- not the longer period of record in the ASHRAE Handbook. (That's why there are no data listed in the .DDY.)

You should compare these with the data for nearby locations in the ASHRAE Handbook.  They could vary significantly.
