[esp-r] Re: How to add local weather data

[Jon Hand]

There is a section in the current ESP-r Cookbook which discusses how to convert
EPW files to ESP-r weather files.  And here are the key steps:

Say I have an EPW file named JPN_Kagoshima.478270_IWEC.epw
If I give the following command it will create an ESP-r climate file named Kagoshima

clm -file Kagoshima -act epw2bin silent JPN_Kagoshima.478270_IWEC.epw

There is now a new file Kagoshima

I can then run clm again and look at the data inside.  

clm -file Kagoshima

I might also want to create an ASCII version of the ESP-r weather file by selecting the 
option j export to text file.

To find out the command line options for clm (or any other ESP-r module) use -help
in the command line e.g.:    clm -help

Subject: [esp-r]  How to add local weather data

Dear everyone:
I want to ask how to add local weather data into my model. My weather data is download in energyplus. My step is open annual climate in database maintenance, and click browse/edit db. And then I choose the weather data(.epw) in China, but it sees the date is illegal. I found the site data is  ******(unknown). And if I choose import from text file of it, the result is the same. Finally I choose another climate of system have given, it can display the correct result.But after I return to the project manager, the climate return to clm67. I think I didn't save my former operate steps. Could you tell me the correct steps?
