ANNOUNCEMENT:
ISHRAE makes available for free "typical year" weather
files for 62 locations in India
ISHRAE (The Indian Society
of Heating, Refrigeration, and Air-Conditioning Engineers)
is pleased to announce the Web release of a new set
of "typical year" weather files for 62 locations in India.
This new set of ISHRAE weather files was created with the
help of White Box Technologies (USA) utilizing weather
data from various sources, including the Indian Bureau of
Meteorology, the US National Center for Environmental Data
(NCEI), and satellite-derived
solar radiation data from the US National Renewable Energy
Laboratory (NREL).
36 of the weather files (ISHRAE2)
are entirely new, while 26 (ISHRAE1M) are from an earlier
2005 set of ISHRAE weather files with updated solar
radiation.
This new weather data can be accessed in several ways:
1. ISHRAE's 2014
publication Indian Weather Data with the data files on DVD
(see here
for details).
2. Free web download of
individual weather files at the following two
sites:
http://weather.whiteboxtechnologies.com/ISHRAE2 (*.CSV, *.epw, *.BINM,
and *.FIN)
www.climate.onebuilding.org (*.epw only)
Technical details about
these weather files are explained in this paper
presented Dec. 7 at the BS 2015 conference in Hyderabad.
ISHRAE
acknowledges the support of the Bureau of Energy
Efficiency, Ministry of Power of the Government of India ,
and the technical work of White Box Technologies in
creating these weather files.
