[EnergyPlus_Support] Re: A query regarding the format of epw files

["karthikthalappully" <karthikt2000@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Thank you all for the help 

Is there any documentation which discusses the algorithm for filling the missing values .  

Also , I have seen in the epw files . the minutes column have can have both value of '60' as well as '0' for different standard weather files. Are these treated as same by the program .

Regards,

Karthik Thalappully
