<DIV>Hi James,</DIV>
<DIV>I'm sure there are a lot of ways to convert between .epw and excel. This is one way that works:</DIV>
<DIV>1. Open your EPW as a CSV in Excel.</DIV>
<DIV>2. Make the desired edits, such as plugging in your weather station data. (Even if you're not using EnergyPlus, the Auxiliary EnergyPlus Programs manual will explain the components of the EPW file.)</DIV>
<DIV>3. Save the file as a CSV. I usually save only the header first, deleting the body. Then only the body, deleting the header. Otherwise, you end up with a lot of extra commas in the header. This method is quicker than deleting the commas.</DIV>
<DIV>4. Then I open the files in Textpad or Notepad and combine the header and body and make sure everything looks OK. Then save it. CSV or TXT format is fine.</DIV>
<DIV>5. Then I manually change the file name from .txt or .csv to .epw.</DIV>
<DIV>6. Then the EPW file works in EnergyPlus. I'm assuming it would work in other programs as well. As long as all the values are OK I haven't had any problems with conversions.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>As an alternative, you can use the EnergyPlus Weather Tool to compile custom data into an EPW format. </DIV>
<DIV>Hope this helps.</DIV>

Note the emphasis on the Integrated Design
Process, which means <BR>that the focus is on how to use simulation to design high performance <BR>buildings. This also means that the workshop will not focus on using <BR>simulation for compliance, be it code compliance or beyond-code <BR>compliance (e.g. LEED), however this type of simulation will be covered <BR>briefly.<BR><BR>We have received many inputs, comments and criticism from our survey. Do <BR>not forget to read the summary of these inputs in the EnergyPlus <BR>Workshop FAQ page.<BR><BR>Syllabus Summary<BR><BR>The workshop is designed in the form of a la carte menu such that <BR>participants can choose topics based on their needs and interests. Day 1 <BR>and Day 2 is relevant to architects and mechanical engineers with little <BR>or no experience with Energy Plus. A mechanical engineer with a basic <BR>understanding of EnergyPlus will likely be interested in Day 2 and Day <BR>3. Of course there is no restrictions at all to take any single
day or <BR>all three days however there will be very little time to address <BR>questions covered during a previous day. There is very little content <BR>overlap between days.<BR><BR>Day 1 is about the basics and nuts and bolts of EnergyPlus. The whole <BR>simulation process is introduced in a step by step manner, from geometry <BR>development to result analysis. The main tools described are the <BR>OpenStudio plugin for SketchUp as the geometry modeler and of course the <BR>EnergyPlus as the calculation engine. Other, more advanced, tools are <BR>also introduced, for example the use of scripts to run multiple <BR>simulations and result extraction. At the end of Day 1, participants <BR>will be able to develop an input file for and get results from basic <BR>EnergyPlus simulations.<BR><BR>Day 2 is about how to use simulation appropriately and how to <BR>communicate results within the integrated design process and for <BR>compliance purposes. The first
section is how to use EnergyPlus to <BR>support integrated design processes for high performance buildings. <BR>Several passive design strategies will be discussed: daylighting, <BR>thermal mass, and night flush. This section focuses on loads analysis <BR>and detailed active systems are not included at this stage. This allows <BR>designers to get necessary information in order to inform passive design <BR>decisions. The second part of the day is how to use EnergyPlus for <BR>compliance, be it code compliance or beyond-code compliance. The <BR>division into these two main sections is intentional and highlights the <BR>different functions of building performance simulation. At the end of <BR>Day 2, participants will be able to develop a series of EnergyPlus <BR>simulations for performance analysis in support of passive design and <BR>the integrated design process as well as documenting the results for <BR>compliance purposes.<BR><BR>Day 3 is about HVAC
systems definition. In the first two days, the HVAC <BR>system definition will rely on (two) HVAC templates available in <BR>EnergyPlus, an automated definition of HVAC systems. In day 3, the rest <BR>of the EnergyPlus HVAC templates will be discussed. Furthermore, manual <BR>development of HVAC systems without the template will be discussed. A <BR>number of examples are used: water source heat pump, ground source heat <BR>pump, and hybrid system.<BR><BR>Detailed syllabus can be found here: <A href="http://www.idlboise.com/node/150" target=_blank>http://www.idlboise.com/node/150</A><BR><BR>Instructors<BR><BR>Main Instructor: Ery Djunaedy, PhD is a Research Scientist (Building <BR>Physics Specialist) at the IDL, University of Idaho Boise. He has <BR>degrees in the area of Building Physics/Science from the Institut <BR>Teknologi Bandung, Indonesia, National University of Singapore, and <BR>Technische Universiteit Eindhoven, Netherlands. His main interest
is in <BR>building performance simulation, especially the building energy and <BR>airflow simulation. He has used advanced simulation tools like the <BR>energy and computational fluid dynamics simulations to design high <BR>performance buildings. He has taught building physics courses to <BR>architecture students in the Netherlands, the UAE and now in the US. He <BR>has been involved in various building design projects in Boise, Idaho <BR>and throughout the region since 2006 when he first joined the IDL.<BR><BR>Assistant: Jacob Dunn is a Research Assistant at the IDL, University of <BR>Idaho Boise. He is involved in energy efficiency research, building <BR>performance simulation, and passive design strategy implementation. He <BR>recently graduated with his Masters of Architecture from the University <BR>with the AIA Henry Adams Medal of Honor for his academic excellence and <BR>extracurricular involvement. During his fourth year of education, Jacob
<BR>spent a summer abroad in Italy to study architecture and also had the <BR>fortunate opportunity to work at the ARUP office in London under the <BR>Foresight + Innovation and Incubation department. Jacob and a former <BR>colleague started their own business called ENlight Design LLC, which <BR>specializes in energy and daylight modeling for both commercial and <BR>residential projects. Jacob?s current involvement is split between his <BR>full time job at the IDL, running and managing his own consulting <BR>business, and staying active in the academic world of the IURDC and <BR>graduate architecture students in Boise, Idaho<BR><BR>Fee<BR><BR>The fee is based on the number of days participated:<BR>One day: $250 per person<BR>Two days: $450 per person<BR>Three days: $650 per person<BR><BR>Registration and fee payment: via UIRSVP only (<A href="http://www.uirsvp.com/" target=_blank>http://www.uirsvp.com</A>)<BR><BR>Workshop Deadlines and
