[EnergyPlus_Support] Re: Site:WeatherStation profiles.

Thank you for your reply Joe.
Yes, with city or urban exponent and boundary layer thickness I got similar results, I think not with open country but it is not the case.
Like my weather station is 2m height in the city I may use Site:WeatherStation, because standard conditions are wind speed is measured at 10m and in a flat open field with little protection from the wind.
