Question-and-Answer Resource for the Building Energy Modeling Community
 | 1 | initial version |
Hello, i use EnergyPlus with .epw files and run my simulations with daylight saving time, my answers are in the same order that your questions:
1.If your .epw are a typical year (a theorical year of 5 or more years), in each hour of each day the values will be a representative average of the years that conform the typical year. If your .epw are a test reference year, the values of each hour concern only for a specific year choosing for the simulation.
2.The .epw has a format and structure concerning only for the specific values of the climatological variable contained, the daylight saving period is configured in your simulation software.
3.The .epw has in its structure the data of latitude and longitude, but in addition you have to put this values in your simulation software and it calculates the solar position and shadows during the simulation process.
Hope this info help you, Greetings community!

What simulation program will use? for which city will do the simulation?
