[Bldg-sim] Weather Station recommendations

[Lukas Hovee via Bldg-sim]

FYI -

The EnergyPlus Weather File Converter packaged with the Energy Plus 
download includes two methods for performing the direct/diffuse split: 
Zhang-Huang and the Perez Split.  See the Energy Plus Auxiliary Programs 
for more detail:

I've recently successfully used this tool to generate an EPW given only 
hourly global horizontal (plus the necessary non-solar measurements).  
One bug I would mention - for the 'Custom File Processing' option, it 
only seems to accept space delimited files - even if you specify 
otherwise in the Definitions file...
