Hourly Weather Data - General

General tab on Hourly Weather data Dialog.

Select the Hourly weather data filename and the rest of the data is loaded directly from the .epw and .stat files.

Each file is named using the ISO standard three-letter country abbreviation (i.e. CUB for Cuba), followed by the location name, and the source format (CityUHK, CSWD, CTYW, CTZ2, CWEC, ISHRAE, IWEC, IGDG, INETI, KISR, SWEC, SWERA, TMY2, or TMY).

Thus, CUB_Havana_IWEC.epw is the EnergyPlus weather file (epw) from the ASHRAE International Weather for Energy Calculations (IWEC) data for Havana, Cuba (CUB).

There are three files associated with each location:

• epw - EnergyPlus weather files
• stat - a summary report on the data. Data from this file is loaded into the Statistics tab when an hourly weather data file is selected.
• ddy - design conditions.

Note: the above hourly weather data and associated statistics files are located in the Weather data folder.
