White Box Technologies is pleased to announce the launch of <b>WBT
Weather Data for Energy Calculations</b>, a web site providing
instant Web access to typical year and historical year weather files
for thousands of locations around the world created from recorded
weather data going back as far as 30 years to as recent as the past
week. This website has been created by a long-time building energy
modeler with several decades' experience in processing weather data
for use in building energy simulations.<br>
<br>
For typical year data, this Web site features ASHRAE's <b>IWEC2
weather files for 3,012 international locations</b>, as well as
TMY3, CWEC2, and CZ2010 weather files for US, Canadian, and
California locations, respectively. IWEC2 weather files cost $35
each, the other sets are public data hosted with permission and are
free. <br>
<br>
For historical data, this Web site contains <b>weather files from
2007 to 2012 for over 10,000 locations around the world, including
over 1,500 in the US and 300 in Canada</b>. Older weather files
going back to 1980 are also available and can be be generated on
request. The historical weather files have been processed by WBT and
cost $50 each. A typical year weather file can also be produced on
request for any location with 7 or more years of historical data.<br>
<br>
All weather files are provided in two formats: *.BINM for use in
DOE-2-derived programs and *.EPW for use in EnergyPlus-derived
programs, including the DDY file. The IWEC2 files also contain an
archival *.CSV format, and the historical files an archival *.FIN4
format. Discount prices for large orders and subscriptions are also
available.<br>
