Re: [EnergyPlus_Support] Meteonorm weather file from Ouagadougou (Burkina Faso)
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.
$500 is the amount we would need to upgrade Meteonorm.
Most weatherfiles for cost do not cost that.
Weather files of multiple years are a specialty for EnergyPlus -- most
people are using a typical meterological year.
To read about appropriate uses of weather for simulation see:

Well, I don't have 500$ for a
climatic weather file... so I will use the uploaded file.
What I tried to say is that the uploaded weather file "just"
has 1 year of meteorological data and would be better with more data from
other years.
Thank you anyway :)
