White Box Technologies is pleased to announce under agreement with
ASHRAE the launch of <b>WBT Weather Data for Energy Calculations,</b>
a web site providing instant access to typical year and historical
year weather files for thousands of locations around the world. The
data are created from recorded weather data going back as far as 30
years to as recent as the past week. <br>
<br>
For typical year weather data, the web site features <b>ASHRAE's
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
provided free of charge. <br>
<br>
For historical weather data, this Web site features <b>weather
files from 2007 to 2012 for over 10,000 locations around the
world, including over 1,500 US and 300 Canadian locations.</b>
Older weather files going back to 1980 are also available and can be
generated on request. The historical weather files have been
processed by WBT and cost $50 each. Typical year weather files 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>
<br>
ASHRAE’s IWEC2 files are made possible through ASHRAE Research
funding. The WBT Weather Data for Energy Calculations web site 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>
