Are you trying to create a new weather file from raw data? DOE-2
(the simulation engine in eQUEST) comes with a doewth Fortran
program for processing or "packing" raw weather data into the binary
format needed by DOE-2 (I don't know if doewth is shipped with
eQUEST or carries a different name). <br>
<br>
If your source data is in a format recognized by the DOE-2 weather
packer, which unfortunately dates back 20+ years, the "packing"
process is pretty straightforward. However, if your source data is
not in one of the recognized formats, you will have to add Fortran
code to the OTHER subroutine to tell doewth how to read the raw
data. <br>
<br>
Full documentation of this procedure can be found in an old article,
"DOE-2 Weather Processor", by Fred Buhl in the Spring 1999 edition
of the Building Energy Simulation User News that used to be
published by LBNL. LBNL has removed all User News articles from
their Web site, but the User News could still be found

<br>
I'm all in support of people who want to learn this process, but in
my 30+ years of working with DOE-2, I've only encountered a handful
of people who've made it through.<br>
<br>
Good luck and best wishes,<br>
<br>
