Hi Grainne,

If a stat is not available you should enter the information on the Statistics tab by hand. The stat file is automatically generated by the Hourly weather data translation process. https://designbuilder.co.uk/helpv7.2/#Add_new_hourly_weather_data.htm

The Edit/Translate Hourly Weather Data dialog can be accessed from the Tools menu and can be used to process hourly weather data. You may wish to do this for various reasons:

1. Convert EnergyPlus epw data to be compatible with DesignBuilder day of week results for daily, hourly and sub-hourly output (set the year to 2002).
2. Translate weather data in other formats to the epw format so that it can be used in DesignBuilder.
3. Generating modified weather data sets for investigating climate change scenarios. https://designbuilder.co.uk/helpv7.2/#_Edit_hourly_weather_data.htm
