<DIV>Unfortunately it is far more complex than that. While there is a
great deal of overlap in the data from a METAR station and the data in an EPW
file it is in a very different format and also it is highly unlikely that this
SBKB station has all of the sensors necessary to produce that needed for
EnergyPlus, particularly in the area of solar radiation...not to mention to have
a statistically valid sample you should have 30 years of data </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>We will soon be charging for this data – a TMY (.EPW) file for a specific
site – but since we can produce these for anywhere, I will run our system and
send you this file under separate cover.</DIV>

<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV> I'm trying to simulate models located on Campinas,Sp, a Brazilian
city (near <B>SBKP</B> station).I made that point because I wonder if the Real
Data Weather has the same kind of data than a METAR code, used for aviation. Or
if it have the same number of variables in a commom .EPW file, used for simulate
buildings. A METAR code is quite simple than a EPW file</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV> I would appreciate it if you could send me data from Campinas,SP -
Brazil.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Sorry about my bad english.</DIV>

<DIV>Francisco,</DIV>

<DIV>.EPW is a format that is for one full year of hourly weather data for a
defined set of weather variables utilized in its model (and others). While
this can be any specific year it is typically a Typical Meteorological Year
(TMY) constructed by statistically selecting 12 most ‘representative’ months
from 30 years of hourly data. If you are looking for a .EPW (TMY) file we
are about to announce a new system which will make these available for nearly
anywhere. Happy to explain more about the weather input to energyplus or
provide samples if it helps.</DIV>

<DIV>The real-time weather data is recent data--you can choose the time period
you want. The .EPWs on the web site are normally 'typical' weather files,
usually constructed from months (determined to be most typical) from many
different years.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>The weather data sources page has information about the various data

<DIV class=h5>Hi,
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>I'm new in energyplus. I would like to know if the Real Time Weather
Data has the same data of an .EPW file.</DIV>
