[Bldg-sim] Need weather data for Kabul, Afghanistan for some volunteer consulting/research I'm doing.

[Fred Betz]

Shariq,

You may want to look at Meteonorm. I have a weather file for Kabul, but it is in .tm2 format for TRNSYS.

Meteonorm also has: Herat, Kandahar, Termez and Zaranj.

Esteemed colleagues,

I need weather data for Kabul, Afghanistan.
I've already tried the regular sources (all free sources at http://gard.com/weather/index.htm) and of course all-wise Google.

Does anyone know of a file recent file that exists (preferably in epw format)? I am not opposed to purchasing a database.

I am doing some volunteer consulting (and research) with an organization in Kabul that is looking to reduce its energy dependency on the stressed grid. Measures that I may assess are day lighting, solar thermal, increased insulation,  enhanced glazing, thermal mass effects with night purge for heating / cooling, etc.. Installations need to be cost effective, structurally sound, and require minimal technical simple.

I appreciate any assistance you can provide.
Thanks in advance.
