Re: [EnergyPlus_Support] Weather Data




The weather data by request from the EnergyPlus team was a volunteer (unpaid) activity which used Meteonorm -- a program that created weather files by interpolation based on climate data statistics. Because a number of groups now provide weather data for virually any location in the world at a reasonable price, the EnergyPlus team will no longer provide weather files from Meteonorm. The Yahoo Groups site is at capacity.

The files already available on meteonorm on the yahoo group site are:

The website will direct you to places that have weather data:
<http://apps1.eere.energy.gov/buildings/energyplus/weatherdata_simulation.cfm>http://apps1.eere.energy.gov/buildings/energyplus/weatherdata_simulation.cfm

Plus there is Meteonorm (<http://www.meteonorm.com/> www.meteonorm.com) - Files for specific locations can be purchased in EnergyPlus format from Meteonorm company. Meteonorm extrapolates hourly data from statistical data for a location. Where statistical data aren't available, Meteonorm interpolates from other nearby sites. Generally a statistical approach is a last resort--weather files generated from statistics will not demonstrate the normal hour-to-hour and day-to-day variability seen in measured data.

And also real time weather available:  <http://apps1.eere.energy.gov/buildings/energyplus/weatherdata_download.cfm> http://apps1.eere.energy.gov/buildings/energyplus/weatherdata_download.cfm
