However, one question that sticks in my mind is how do I know if the data is accurate or not without doing my own monitoring over years to validate? Many stations have sporadic data collection, so have to interpolate with nearby stations, etc. It’s hard to predict the future of course, but I’d like to have some reasonable assurance that the designs I create will realistically apply to a typical environmental year. Any ideas as to what I should look out for or the questions I should be asking?<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D'>Cheers,<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D'>Roger Hill<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><div><div style='border:none;border-top:solid #B5C4DF 1.0pt;padding:3.0pt 0cm 0cm 0cm'><p class=MsoNormal><b><span lang=EN-US style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Tahoma","sans-serif"'>From:</span></b><span lang=EN-US style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Tahoma","sans-serif"'> TRNSYS-users [mailto:trnsys-users-bounces@lists.onebuilding.org] <b>On Behalf Of </b>mcdowell@tess-inc.com<br><b>Sent:</b> Wednesday, 5 August 2015 3:14 p.m.<br><b>To:</b> TRNSYS users mailing list at OneBuilding.org<br><b>Subject:</b> Re: [TRNSYS-users] Weather Stations<o:p></o:p></span></p></div></div><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p>Roger Hill -<o:p></o:p></p><p>There are a number of sources for weather data.
