[Equest-users] Mexico City weather file

Brian,

 

The previous response may address your needs. Nevertheless, being able
to view the weather data is useful. You can do this by using the weather
file converter. See link to

Brian,

Just a quick look at your pdfs shows that you have very high lighting
and equipment loads, you also will have high occupancy loads, which
means a lot of heat to your spaces. It could be that this heat is more
than sufficient to meet your needs and that cooling is the mode you are
in most of the year. Without seeing you model inputs, I don't know
whether you are using economizers or not or any sort of heat recovery.
If you are that might also be an influence.

Regards,

Carol

I've been trying to investigate energy consumption for a hospital in
Mexico City.  The space heating is giving me a zero for a few months
then dashes for the rest.  I've modeled based on climate zone 3.  I've
tried all three weather files for Mexico City, Mexico88, 90 and 91.  In
efforts to verify the model was correct, I changed weather files for
different locations in the US.  I even tried a US climate zone 3 and it
showed some space heating.  Is this an issue with the weather file or is
there just no real space heating.  The system used was a dx with
electric reheat.  The attached pdfs show the numbers.

Thanks for any direction provided.
