[TRNSYS-users] Weather data

[Filippo Busato]

Hi everbody, Happy New Year!

I know one more source for "Typical weather data files" for UK, which is 
the EU TRY. The reference is:

[1]            AA.VV., TEST REFERENCE YEAR TRY, "Data Sets for Computer 
Simulations of Solar Energy Systems and Energy Consumption in 
Buildings." Commission of the European Communities, Directorate General 
XII for Science, Research and Development, 1985.


Good luck!
Filippo
