Re: [EnergyPlus_Support] Meteonorm weather file from Ouagadougou (Burkina Faso)





Well the idea was to get the weather data from :http://apps1.eere.energy.gov/buildings/energyplus/weatherdata_request_search.cfm?sortKey=country&opt=1.
But I don't know why I couldn't get from here so I thought that if not from here maybe from meteonorm...
Anyone had tried to get data from the same place and could?

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.

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 :)
