<div dir="ltr">John,<div><br></div><div>I would suggest using another free weather tool that comes with EnergyPlus to modify weather data. The tool is newer and takes an EPW file (which are the common TMY3 files now for EnergyPlus) and can convert this to a csv. Modify the csv however you like with alternate data, and then using this same tool, reverse the process and make an EPW file from a csv.</div>

<div><br></div><div>eQuest then has a tool that converts any EPW file to a BIN file for simulation. The fortran conversion software that people use to directly change bin files to text and back is a serious pain to get right. I spent several hours once ensuring I placed the right amount of commas and spaces.</div>
