White Box Technologies provides historical weather data for over 8,000 locations around the world (2,200 in the US) from the current year going back to 2001, processed to various formats (*.BINM, *.epw, *.CSV, *.TM2, etc.) for immediate use in simulations. The raw data are official weather station broadcasts archived by the (US) National Climatic Data Center as the Integrated Surface Hourly Database (ISD). The processing by WBT includes (1) converting all data to local time and conditions, (2) interpolating missing hourly and eliminating subhourly records, (3) converting precipitation to hourly records, and most importantly, (4) calculating solar radiation using a technique shown to correlate within 5% of measured totals.
White Box Technologies is also a Web reseller of ASHRAE IWEC2 weather files for 3,012 international locations, and hosts public "typical year" weather sets including TMY3 for 1020 US, CWEC2 for 80 Canadian, and the official CZ2010 files for Title-24 calculations (88 California locations).
Historical files cost $50 each; IWEC2 files cost $35 each; the public files are free.

White Box Technologies has just completed processing 2014 weather data for 8,862 locations around the world, including 2,202 in the US, 290 in Canada, and 2,763 in Europe. Since this number of locations is almost 40% more than that in the ASHRAE Handbook, WBT has also calculated DDY files for all locations based on the long-term historical record. WBT has also added a feature to its Web site allowing users to create composite weather files combining data from two different years. (added Jan 16 2015)
