Revision history [back]

If you didn't know already, EnergyPlus uses weather files ending in *.epw that are defined in a specific EnergyPlus Weather format. This format is similar to how a TMY file is organized, and you will likely need to create the *.epw file yourself from the raw measured weather data (like what you found at White Box Technologies).

There have been multiple posts on Unmet Hours about converting measured weather data into a usable weather file for building energy model simulations. The best place to start is here, which has great resources within the answers as well as links to other related posts.
