International Weather for Energy Calculations, v 2.0
This DVD contains "typical" weather files, suitable for use with building energy simulation programs, for 3,012 locations outside the United States and Canada.
The files are derived from Integrated Surface Hourly (ISH) weather data originally archived at the National Climatic Data Center. For these selected locations, the ISH database contains weather observations on average at least four times per day of wind speed and direction, sky cover, visibility, ceiling height, dry-bulb temperature, dew-point temperature, atmospheric pressure, liquid precipitation, and present weather for at least 12 years of records up to 25 years.
