<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:windowtext">Hello Faisal,<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:windowtext"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:windowtext">+1 option: I personally have migrated to using the free option ELEMENTS for the relatively simple tasks of conversion between BIN & EPW:
<a href="https://bigladdersoftware.com/projects/elements/">https://bigladdersoftware.com/projects/elements/</a><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:windowtext"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:windowtext">ELEMENTS is extremely similar in function/featureset to eQ_WthProc (once the latter is up and running – admittedly can be a pain… gets easier after first use), but ELEMENTS also offers a few more bells/whistles
for quick QC / visualization of the weather data. Also offers data manipulation features I haven’t leveraged (but recognize as a useful option for those who haven’t developed such a framework) for bridging the gap between AMY-centric calibration and TMY projection
of savings. (i.e. “tuning/normalizing”).<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:windowtext"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:windowtext">Climate consultant is of course an awesome tool in its own right, built by and for answering/informing questions beyond simple weather file conversion. I have found its visuals and presentation to be an inspiration
for other tools I’ve built, and I still reach for CC first for deeper QC/review of custom weather ventures.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
