[Equest-users] bin file to epw file

Thu May 9 06:58:14 PDT 2019

I tried converting a CWEC file of the old generation. The resulting .epw file, first line:
LOCATION,Abbotsford BC CWEC  ,<not available>,<not available>,<not available>,<not available>,49.03,-122.37,-8,1609.34

I suggest using the new CWEC generation .epw file unless there is a stipulation that the original file must be used. Many of the CWEC files have both generations included on the Climate One Building website:
http://climate.onebuilding.org/WMO_Region_4_North_and_Central_America/CAN_Canada/index.html

The new CWEC .epw file for Abbotsford first line:
LOCATION,Abbotsford Intl AP,BC,CAN,CWEC2016,711080,49.025,-122.360,-8.0,59.1

Alternately, you could try editing that first line in the .epw file to show the same information as the new generation .epw file includes.

Converting from .epw to .bin always goes smoothly. The old CWEC files do not some of the information required for the .epw file.

The old CWEC files use very old data unrepresentative of current climate conditions.

Thank you Patrick for your answer,
I am trying to insert the epw file in HAP.
I used "elemets" saved the bin file as epw file.
Then I am trying to insert the file in HAP and I get following error message

Dear eQUEST users,

I need to convert a DOE-2 weather file (.bin file) into an EnergyPlus weather file (.epw).

Do you have any suggestion?

Thank you
