<p class=MsoNormal>All,<br>
<br>
Like Tim, I am trying to follow Randy's instructions for converting TMY3 files
for use in eQuest, and getting hung up at step 3. I am attempting to use
EnergyPlus's converter - I downloaded and installed EnergyPlus today (version
4.0), which came with Version 1.4.11 of the Weather Converter. <br>
<br>
It seems that the only output formats the EnergyPlus weather converter provides
are the EnergyPlus weather format (EPW), a CSV format of EPW data, both EPW and
CSV, and a statistics report on input data. <br>
<br>
I don't see any way to create a binary (.bin) file.<br>
<br>
Any suggestions or recommendations would be greatly appreciated.<br>
<br>
Thanks,<br>
Greg<o:p></o:p></p>
