What is the minimum time step of the weather data file to have the minimum error?

I saw an available weather data file that is for sale which is in EPW format already but its time step is hourly. Is this sufficient enough not to cause huge difference? We are going to simulate a building model for 1 year.

I am willing to read papers regarding this matter if you can find any.
