[Equest-users] Updated Canadian CWEC Weather Files

[Ng, Jason]

Hello all,

The government of Canada seems to have updated their engineering climate data sets to be used for energy simulations. The new data sets can be found here:

http://climate.weather.gc.ca/prods_servs/engineering_e.html

I quickly compared a CWEC file available from the doe2 website with the latest CWEC_V_2016 file from the website above for the same city and sure enough the number of heating degree days have been reduced and cooling degree days have gone up.

The issue I have with these files is I can’t seem to determine what years they are based on. The text files available on their ftp site are outdated (they maintain the CWEC files are based on data from 1960-1989), and the descriptions on the website are ambiguous.

Given the recent flurry of activity on weather files, I figured someone would be able to answer this pretty quickly!

Many thanks,
