2016-08-08 07:29:41 -0500 commented answer Energy plus weather files UTC/GMT

I use DB and i do simulations for Copenhagen (UTC +1 and +2 in the summer). I thought to take an old epw file and change only the weather data (T RH etc.). The solar track of epw referred on "clock local time" (without - +1 winter-summer time) or solar time? the first value is based on average track at 00-01:00? My problem is how to combine correct weather data with correct solar track based on common time reference (refer to same hour). thanks

2016-08-04 02:38:44 -0500 answered a question Energy plus weather files UTC/GMT

maybe my questions were not so clear. i have data from a weather station (2014, 2015) and i want to transform them to epw files. The first temperature of the epw file (from 8760) is the average temperature from 00:00-01:00 (e.g. 2014 of my data) or the exact temperature of 00:00 (end 2013-2014)? The solar track is something that the software calculates from the epw file or something that you set additionally (e.g. UCT+1) Is it possible to create epw file without solar tracks. For example in elements software (bigladder) there are many columns that i do not know (cosine, zenith etc.). Is it a good idea to use an existent epw for a city and just copy paste these columns or is it possible to leave them empty. Regards

thanks a lot i found also these informations! my question is do you create a txt file and you change the ending to .rvi, or this file created like eso files etc and there is in a folder. I use DB.

2015-02-06 12:51:31 -0500 asked a question How can I create .rvi files?

How do I create an EnergyPlus .rvi file for jEPlus? I have eplusout.eso and csv files. What comes next?

Thanks.

if someone of the members is a participant of this work group i am interesting of the updated form of the standard i have the one of summer 2014.

I am interested for data for measured typical uses of windows and shading devices for single family buildings. I know about Annex 66 from the IEA, but they do not have any published data yet.

Various countries have their own terminology-regulation for overheating hours (like adaptive EN15251, CIBSE, TM52, 26C). Define the rule for overheating of your country for free running buildings (cooling).

Hi, residential existing buildings in France (H3) take major renovations (walls, ceilings, floors, airtightness, MV) do they have to fulfill some minimum requirements (U values, or total heating demand)? Can you provide me these values with a reference?
