[Equest-users] Setting Country Locations in Equest

Mon Apr 24 06:26:56 PDT 2017

The weather files on the EnergyPlus website can easily be converted to use with eQuest. There is a wider range of locations on the EnergyPlus site. You have to use the eQ_WthProc program from the doe2.com website to convert the EnergyPlus .epw weather file to the .bin format required for eQuest.

I am looking to model a city in Turkey but I did see on the DOE web site there have a weather file for Asia.

Thanks

Yes Damon-- John is right, eQuest can model other country weather files, but you have to download them and reference them yourself within eQuest.  When you go to select the location in the wizard drop down menu, choose the "user specified" option and then you can point to the weather file you want to use.  Be sure to download your weather file and place it into the "Weather" folder that is found in the eQuest DATA folder in your 'My Documents' area.

Check out the DOE2.com site. There is a weather tab, which will go to different locations around the world.

What country are you looking for?

Good Day,

I am new to Equest and I see there is only the option for selecting US states and cities.

I need to model a building outside the US, is there any way around this?

I also downloaded the Canadian version but similar issue.

I assume the location settings are for the climatic data, is it not possible to modify the settings?

Many Thanks

Regards
