White Box Technologies is pleased to announce the launch of *WBT Weather Data for Energy
Calculations*, a web site providing instant Web access to typical year and historical year
weather files for thousands of locations around the world created from recorded weather
data going back as far as 30 years to as recent as the past week. This website has been
created by a long-time building energy modeler with several decades' experience in
processing weather data for use in building energy simulations.

For typical year data, this Web site features ASHRAE's *IWEC2 weather files for 3,012
international locations*, as well as TMY3, CWEC2, and CZ2010 weather files for US,
Canadian, and California locations, respectively. IWEC2 weather files cost $35 each, the
other sets are public data hosted with permission and are free.

For historical data, this Web site contains *weather files from 2007 to 2012 for over
10,000 locations around the world, including over 1,500 in the US and 300 in Canada*.
Older weather files going back to 1980 are also available and can be be generated on
request. The historical weather files have been processed by WBT and cost $50 each. A
typical year weather file can also be produced on request for any location with 7 or more
years of historical data.

All weather files are provided in two formats: *.BINM for use in DOE-2-derived programs
and *.EPW for use in EnergyPlus-derived programs, including the DDY file. The IWEC2 files
also contain an archival *.CSV format, and the historical files an archival *.FIN4
format. Discount prices for large orders and subscriptions are also available.
