The zip file contains the weather processor that can extract of the data
from the weather file. It can also be used to change data in the
weather file. See the DOE2.2 Vol. 3, Topics manual, the last
section is "Weather". <br><br>
There are a number of .bat files, utility scripts, for processing the
weather data. <br><br>
LSTABIN.BAT lists all 8760 hours of data in the file to a text
file. It contains the monthly and annual summaries as well.
This file side steps having to import the raw text data into an excel
spreadsheet.<br><br>

Within the zip file Jeremy referenced there is a utility file called
stat.bat. You can use this to extract statistics for the bin file,
including HDD and CDD at various temperatures.<br>

There is a process you can use with the BIN file, but it is more effort
than using the ASHRAE Fundamentals tables Steven referenced. If you
use the ASHRAE Fundamentals tables, while you are there you should also
make sure you setup your design day keywords in eQuest (under the
“Project” information tab) to match ASHRAE as well.<br>
<br>
To get the degree days from the bin file, you need to convert the bin
file to a text file, import into Excel (clean format), and then manually
calculate the degree days from the hourly temperatures either by
calculating average daily temp or dividing each days heating/cooling
degree-hours by 24. The answers will be different depending on
which method you choose.<br>
<br>
The directions on converting a bin file to a text file are a bit lengthy
but are included in the readme file with the utility at

You’ll spend a good deal of time in a text editor (notepad will do fine
if you’re on a PC).<br>

Use the ASHRAE HDD & CDD data from the fundamentals handbook.
The tables are in the 2001 paper copy of fundamentals, but I believe you
need the electronic files on the CD for later editions of ASHRAE
fundamentals.<br>

<br>
Hi All,<br>
<br>
I looked through the archives and I don’t see this addressed, so I hope I
didn’t miss it. For LEED v3 EAp2 the form asks for the weather file and
then the HDD and CDD source. I used the TMY2 data file for my city in the
model but I can’t figure out how to determine the HDD and CDD for this
source. Does anyone know either how to determine the HDD/CDD numbers from
equest or the .bin file, or if the ASHRAE numbers are the same as the TM2
data.<br>
<br>
Thanks<br>
