Simulation tools include a few weather files. This video shows the process of importing weather data from the climate.onebuilding.org site and then reviewing the patterns in the data to define seasons using two different methods. We then determine the best fit weeks and lastly record our seasonal preferences in a form which ESP-r can use in subsequent sessions. We then review a second weather data set from the same city to identify other classic summer conditions that we might want to use to better understand building performance and control issues.
