[TRNSYS-users] Swap Weather Reader Types?

David, thank you for help!

If I replace Type109 with Type15, I run into a problem with the
radiation input data. I am using a project file generated with the 3-D
building wizard. I see that the wizard creates a custom version of
Type109 with radiation information for all the surfaces on the
building. Is there a way I can create a custom version of Type15 for
all the surfaces? By default it only has one surface.

I suppose it would be easier to just convert my EPW into TMY2, but I
haven't found a way to do this yet. I really want to be able to use
EPW data because I want my simulation to use historical weather data,
not typical. I want to be able to 'tune' my building model based on
historical data.

Thank you very much!
Graham
