[Equest-users] daily weather conditions

[Nicholas Caton via Equest-users]

As someone who has advocated for and used the eQ_WthProc a few times to good effect, I’ll also add that this particular weather visualization and format conversion toolset is IMHO superseded by another free option, ELEMENTS:  http://bigladdersoftware.com/projects/elements/.

These two options mirror each other in functionality, but ELEMENTS is a relative breeze to install/execute, and offers a deeper/broader set of immediate visualization options for QC.  I think the DOEWth processor also hosted at http://doe2.com/index_Wth.html has additional conversion functionalities.

I would use none of the above tools however to visualize something I already have loaded into an eQUEST model.  Good advice = to use the GLOBAL custom hourly reporting variables to pull whatever set of weather file conditions you want to see and punch that out in a simulation.  Combining that with other custom hourly outputs allows you to quickly scatterplot exterior conditions vs. useful metrics like specific fan/system/plant equipment operations/outputs to have your eQuest model tell you stories you won’t find in the default interface.

Agreed. There is also a tool on doe2.com that will unpack the weather file but the hourly report method is quick and easy.

Add an hourly report, you'll find variables for outside dry/wet bulb temperature, etc.

How can outside weather conditions, such as dry bulb temperature for a day be known in eQuest?
