White Box Technologies is pleased to announce the launch of WBT Weather
Data for Energy Calculations, a web site providing instant Web access to
typical year and historical year weather files for thousands of
locations around the world created from recorded weather data going back
as far as 30 years to as recent as the past week. This website has been
created by a long-time building energy modeler with several decades'
experience in processing weather data for use in building energy
simulations.
For typical year data, this Web site features ASHRAE's IWEC2 weather
files for 3,012 international locations, as well as TMY3, CWEC2, and
CZ2010 weather files for US, Canadian, and California locations,
respectively. IWEC2 weather files cost $35 each, the other sets are
public data hosted with permission and are free.
For historical data, this Web site contains weather files from 2007 to
2012 for over 10,000 locations around the world, including over 1,500 in
the US and 300 in Canada. Older weather files going back to 1980 are
also available and can be be generated on request. The historical
weather files have been processed by WBT and cost $50 each. A typical
year weather file can also be produced on request for any location with
7 or more years of historical data.
All weather files are provided in two formats: *.BINM for use in
DOE-2-derived programs and *.EPW for use in EnergyPlus-derived programs,
including the DDY file. The IWEC2 files also contain an archival *.CSV
format, and the historical files an archival *.FIN4 format. Discount
prices for large orders and subscriptions are also available.
