Custom EPW file errors with 5 minute data.
I have created a custom weather file that contains 5-minute data from 12/22/2022 to 12/28/2022. I am using this data to verify our building model with real data that was taking during the winter. I am getting the error bellow:
** Fatal ** Unexpected error condition in middle of reading EPW file, stopped at 2022/12/23 12:50
I have triple checked this line in the text file but have not been able to locate any errors. I also went through the auxiliary programs pdf to replace the data that I do not have with the respective missing value numbers. I collect on-site weather data every 1 minute and pulled 5-minute solar data to fill that. I had no values for Horizontal Infrared Radiation so I tried leaving it empty and also replaced with TMY values just to get it to run but failed.
Here is the drive link to the weather file: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1yz5V...
Any help would be greatly appreciated as I have been banging my head on the wall for hours now.
Thanks.
@Tomwell17 while you can't attach your weather file to this post, you can upload it to a file storage service like Google Drive, Dropbox, etc. and then share the URL here for others to access.
Seems to be pretty similar issue to this post.
Yeah, I looked into that one. Instead of a .csv and .def file using the weather converter, I took a sample TMY weather file for the local airport that is used for E+ simulations already. I kept all the headers and input my custom weather data and tried to fill the 'missing values' in following the auxiliary document. Then I output the rows into Notepad ++ and save as an .epw. A little brute force approach and maybe I need to revisit the weather converter.
