[esp-r] Re: Converting weather file to EPW

[Andrew Cowie]

Hi Tomonori,

An EPW file is a plain text document.  “plain text document” (usually) refers to an ACSII file (as opposed to a binary file).  An EPW file is just a particular way of arranging ASCII data, so that programs know how to interpret it.  For example, the top line of an EPW file should look something like this:

LOCATION,Chicago Ohare Intl Ap,IL,USA,TMY3,725300,41.98,-87.92,-6.0,201.0

You should be fine to use the file as it is!

Best regards,
Andy Cowie

Subject: [esp-r] Converting weather file to EPW

Dear all
I have downloaded weather data from EnergyPlus. Even though I selected download as EPW, however it came as ‘plain text document’. Please let me know how to convert the text file to epw, so I can use it to the simulation.

Best regards
Tomonori Makita
