Weather files and their influence on energy consumption in commercial buildings
Author: Anthony Gates
Year: 2010
Course: BBSC_432
Abstract:
This report documents the process and analysis that has been undertaken to determine if two different standard weather files of the same location produce similar results of calculated energy consumption. The weather files that are used are the TMY (Typical Meteorological Year) and the TRY (Test Reference Year) which was developed in 2009 and 1993 respectively).
