How can I use energyplus weather converter to split global radiation in to direct normal and diffuse horizontal radiation

Hello everyone.

I'm trying to validate a building model by take into account the real weather situation. A onsite weather station had been installed.

But for solar radiation data,only global(total) radiation is available. From the auxiliary programs document,weather converter program, it seems the weather converter can use Perez split model to split the global into direct normal and diffuse horizontal values.

My questions is how can this be done using the weather converter? I do not find much useful related information yet.

If you had experience about this or done similar staffs before. Your suggestion is really appreciated.

Thanks very much in advance.

Cheers,

Amy
