What you have posted works just for converting EPW format weather
files to eQUEST BIN. This does not work at all for Belal's case,
where the original weather file is in another format. For that, you
have to specially process the data. In addition to what I had
posted last time, there's also the need to calculate/convert the
Direct and Diffuse radiation to Total Global Horizontal radiation.
To do that, you need to have the solar angle every hour. Sorry to
have to explain the bad news.<br>

I took a look at your text weather file. If it's clean,
i.e., all the elements are there for every hour, then the
main difficulties are to calculate the following
parameters that are needed in the DOE-2/eQUEST *.BIN
format, as well as to convert all the parameters from SI
to IP:<br>
<br>
calculate wet-bulb temperature from the dry-bulb and
relative humidity<br>
calculate the humidity ratio <br>
calculate the enthalpy of air <br>
<br>
You would also have to add a constant air pressure based
on the location's elevation, and then leave the rain and
snow flags as 0's, but those aren't really used anyway.<br>
<br>
There used to be a dummy Fortran subroutine called OTHER
that a user could modify and then compile with the DOE-2
weather processor program (also in Fortran), wthr.f,<br>
but I've known of only a handful of people who's actually
tried to use it all the years I was at LBNL. By now, I
actually prefer to write my own program rather than
struggling<br>
with the syntax of wthr.f<br>
<br>
Since I do this type of stuff (process weather data) all
the time, I could probably convert this file for you to
eQUEST in less than an hour, but I would have to charge
you.<br>
Let me know if you're interested.<br>
