[esp-r] Re: validation according to EN 15265:2007

[Wachenfeldt Bjørn Jenssen]

Dear Georgios and Paul
Thanks for your answers
The standard was approved July 6. 2007, so it is the final version.

Unfortunately all rights of exploitation is reserved worldwide for CEN national members. We bought it from Standard Norway, which is the Norwegian CEN member that is responsible for most standardisation areas in Norway. Thus I am unfortunately not allowed to distribute it to you or anyone else on the list.

However, although I realise that you have already made an ESP-r climate file, I attach a zipped version of the original climate file i Excel format I got from Thor Endre Lexow in Standard Norway (don't understand the meaning of including this as text in the standard itself, rather than putting it on the web as a downloadable file).        

Althouth the validation tests described are very simple, the tests might necessitate some source code modification in order to comply with the test-requirements in EN 15265:2007. Since you are more familiar with the ESP-r source code, and have experience with a lot of different validation tests, you should be the right ones to do it. Please let us know how it goes!  
 

Best regards,
Bjørn J. Wachenfeldt

Hi Bjorn,

we briefly looked on the draft versions of this Standard previously. 
I am not aware if somebody is working on it at the moment. 
I am planning to prepare the models needed for it if nobody else does but it is not of a high priority at the moment in UK (but I am guessing that it will be soon).
I have actually prepared previously the esp-r climate file needed for this Standard using the 45+ pages of data in the available pdf file. The last version that I have is for 2006 - you are mentioning 2007 version at your email (is it the final?). Can you send me this version at a separate email, please?

I am happy to send the esp-r climate file to anybody who wants to work with these tests and help him/her to prepare the models. We can then place the models in the validation section of the Project Manager interface where they could be available to anybody.

Regards,
Georgios
