<p class="MsoNormal">We’ve been testing this out – so far it works great. Anyone else use it? One thing we noticed is that the epw file that you download is in a format that some programs will reject. Our workaround was to use the energyplus weather converter
to convert it to csv and back to epw – that seemed to fix any issues. <o:p></o:p></p>

<p>Users of the POWER Data Access Viewer (DAV) should experience no major impacts on usability during this migration process. For users of the custom POWER Application Programming Interface (API), there will be substantial improvements in the responsiveness,
usability, and standard compliance of the API endpoints. This includes an updated path based Uniform Resource Locator (URL) system, enhanced Uniform Resource Identifier (URI) query keywords, a streamed response of the requested data format (no longer requiring
you to find the requested data format download link within the JSON response). <o:p>
