[Equest-users] Fwd: Convert epw file into bin format

[Nicholas Caton]

Hello Faisal,

+1 option:  I personally have migrated to using the free option ELEMENTS for the relatively simple tasks of conversion between BIN & EPW:  https://bigladdersoftware.com/projects/elements/

ELEMENTS is extremely similar in function/featureset to eQ_WthProc (once the latter is up and running – admittedly can be a pain… gets easier after first use), but ELEMENTS also offers a few more bells/whistles for quick QC / visualization of the weather data.  Also offers data manipulation features I haven’t leveraged (but recognize as a useful option for those who haven’t developed such a framework) for bridging the gap between AMY-centric calibration and TMY projection of savings. (i.e. “tuning/normalizing”).

Climate consultant is of course an awesome tool in its own right, built by and for answering/informing questions beyond simple weather file conversion.  I have found its visuals and presentation to be an inspiration for other tools I’ve built, and I still reach for CC first for deeper QC/review of custom weather ventures.

You might have better luck using ClimateConsultant.
