Hello,
Does anyone know how to enter custom weather data into the .epw weather files that Energy Plus uses? I'm using DesignBuilder to run Energy Plus for a research project on solar greenhouse assisted biogas digesters. I originally modelled the greenhouse using a WYEC2 file, but I want to put in recent data for solar radiation and outdoor air temperature obtained from the test period so that I can assess the accuracy of the model. (I tried downloading recent weather data from the energy plus website but that didn't work).
Thanks for the help!

Hayes,
You can first export the epw weather file to excel and change the values in
it. You can then use the "Weather Statistics and Conversion" utility tool
from EnergyPlus to convert the excel file to the epw format..
Hope this helps..
