<p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:#1F497D'>I have had success purchasing
weather data from Weatherbank. After hours of trying to figure out how to
use the “free” data I was confronted with client requirements
that the filled data be supported with proper PHD skill. So to satisfy
this requirement I purchased the file. I would suggest getting several
years and several stations as the price scales down with quantity.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:#1F497D'>You can then use a combination
of the Energyplus weather tool and equest doe2 weather tools to build TMY2

<p class=MsoNormal>Hello Gang,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>I’m trying to develop an Equest model with actual
weather data for 2008 for Atlanta, Georgia. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>I can get the TMY (or TM2, TM3) data and convert it to
a CSV file and copy (or convert) all the weather data and then convert back to
a *.bin file.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>BUT, I CAN’T find hourly Solar Global Horizontal or
Solar Direct Normal Irradiance data for Atlanta.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>Anybody ever do this or know where to find the solar
data? Thanks in advance…<o:p></o:p></p>
