Hi eQUEST Experts :),

I downloade new york city central park hourly weather CSV file from Energy
plus real-time weather data website from 20
http://apps1.eere.energy.gov/buildings/energyplus/weatherdata_download.cfm

However, when I open these files from 2011 11 14- 2012 01 28, however, when
I open this file, the data in the first two column TDbC and TDew is around
200, I cannnot figure out what the *unit* this file is using.

Anyone can help me ?

Thank you very much.

I believe the KNYC data includes a "tenth of a degree" data without including the interposing decimal point.

Eg 200 would be 20.0 deg.

I am not sure if it is deg C or deg F although from the stated # I would imagine deg F.

To know for sure, check the help guide at http://apps1.eere.energy.gov/buildings/energyplus/pdfs/weatherdata_guide_34303.pdf

If that fails, the good folks at NREL have been pretty responsive to me when I clicked on the "help" link from the website you cited.
