Re: [EnergyPlus_Support] Weather Data and Predictions

[Linda Lawrie <linda@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

There are vast number of weather files available on the

www.energyplus.gov  site.

As well, there are a selected number of weather files available on the
Yahoo Group EnergyPlus support site.

Additional resources are shown in:
http://apps1.eere.energy.gov/buildings/energyplus/weatherdata_simulation.cfm

EnergyPlus weather files are designed for energy simulations. Weather
predictions don't  enter into that.

Information on selecting weather data appropriate for energy simulation
is described in this paper:

Drury B. Crawley. 1998. "Which Weather Data Should You Use for
Energy Simulations of Commercial Buildings?" in ASHRAE Transactions,
pp. 498-515, Vol. 104, Pt. 2. Atlanta: ASHRAE. (PDF 197 KB)
