[Radiance-general] Incomplete epw information

[Guglielmetti, Robert]

I would recommend running a regular epw file through the utility "epw2wea", which takes a weather file from the EnergyPlus database and converts it for use with gendaymtx. This way you can see exactly which subset of information gendaymtx needs, and in what format. It's basically the Daysim weather input format (and it's less info than what you have in your custom weather file there). Your file format is not what gendaymtx expects, and is probably the cause of your troubles.

Dear:

I have the following problem with the Radiance lighting simulation:

I created a climate file from a weather station data. I have the following parameters:

- Dry bulb temperature
- Dew point temperature
- Relative humidity
- Atmospheric Pressure
- Horizontal infrared radiation from sky
- Global horizontal radiation
- Direct normal radiation
- Diffuse normal radiation
- Visibility

All other data assumed to be zero.

With this weather file, simulation isn't done correctly, so if it happens if I use a weather file from EnergyPlus database.

What data are required for the simulation, in order to complete my weather file?

Regards.
