[Equest-users] eQ_WthProc for weather file conversion error: invalid floating point

[Arpan Bakshi]

Emmanual,

I have found the routine outlined by Susan Trzos to be helpful.
You must copy files into locations exactly as noted, or it will not work.

>* In order to convert weather files, you need to download the*>* eQ_WthProc from the following location and follow the instructions on the*>* website: http://doe2.com/index_wth.html*>**>* If you already have your epw file, then place it in the "SourceFiles"*>* folder that will be created with this install. If you do not have an epw*>* file, you can download one from here:*>* http://apps1.eere.energy.gov/buildings/energyplus/cfm/weather_data.cfm*>**>* In the "Processor" directory, double click on eQ_WthProc.exe, click Run,*>* you should then see the following:*>**>* In the EnergyPlus weather file box near the top, click the  and navigate*>* to the SourceFiles folder and select the epw file you placed in there. Then*>* click the big Convert button on the bottom left.*>**>* It will take a few seconds and then your dialogue box should look like this*>* with writing in the bottom white area that says Formatted weather data*>* successfully:*>**>* *If you get an error saying "Invalid file name" or something like that,*>* then you need to follow the directions on the first website I sent that*>* talks about changing the .INI file. I did option 2 and opened up that INI*>* file in a text editor, changed the path names,  and then it worked*>* perfectly.**>**>* You new .bin file will be located under the EPW folder, I believe.*>**>* SUSAN TRZOS, LEED® AP*
