[Bldg-sim] White Box Technologies makes available online CZ2022 weather files for California Title-24 compliance calculations or utility studies (mistake in first link)

Sorry. I forgot to capitalize the "cz" in the first link.

The correct link to select the CZ2022 files by list is weather.whiteboxtechnologies.com/CZ2022

Thanks to Jason for pointing this out to me.
