This might be more specific advice for university members of this group looking at calibrating a model from a campus, but usually kicking around somewhere on the site there will be a weather station logging data. Either from the estates team itself, a particular
research/teaching department (geography and meteorology departments can't resist a good weather station). </div>

Data might require some fiddling around with and cleaning up, but the logged historic data can be really helpful when synced correctly with your sensor data. </div>

<p class="x_MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11pt">That’s an interesting one. Before access to much improved, higher quality AMY data calibration may have been undertaken against TMY or EWY data. If calibrating to monthly energy rather than hourly, presumably
date-sensitivity and things like DST are not as big a deal?<u></u><u></u></span></p>
