I am reviewing a eQuest model built with eQUEST 3.65.7158 (which I can't even find on the doe2 website). I was given the pd2 and inp files. A few weeks ago I was able to load this model and run the building simulation. I am able to load the model that I've run before; but, now when I attempt to run the model I get:

Error: -1 standard file writing errors encountered

I've tried using both eQuest 3.65 builds 7173 & 7175.

I have already checked out the following threads without success: http://onebuilding.org/archive/equest... http://energy-models.com/forum/energy...

There are no errors or issues with the .bdl file and indeed it ran just fine a few weeks ago.

Any ideas as to what my issues could be?

This did ultimately help me. When I tried to load the input file eQuest gave me a hard time because there was also a pd2

Thanks for the suggestion. I'll give this a try and let you know if it worked.

2017-04-12 13:00:57 -0500 asked a question Historical solar radiance data

I am trying to build a weather file for historical data. The NOAA isd-lite data has everything I need except solar radiance data and I am trying to find a good source.

The best one I've found so far in the National Solar Radiation Database (http://rredc.nrel.gov/solar/old_data/...) but this only seems to have information up to 2015.

My question then is two-fold: - Does anyone know a good source of solar radiation data that is updated fairly frequently (say on a monthly basis)? Free would be ideal, but inexpensive would work. - How important is it to various simulators to have specific historical DNI and DHI data?
