  IEA EBC Annex 80 "Typical and extreme weather datasets for studying the resilience of buildings to climate change" (Version 1.0)

This experiment collects the datasets created by the "Weather Data" group of the IEA EBC Annex 80 “Resilient Cooling for Buildings” project. These are datasets of current and future weather files for building energy performance simulation covering 15 locations in ten climate zones worldwide. The datasets contain ambient air temperature, relative humidity, atmospheric pressure, direct and diffuse solar irradiance, and wind speed at hourly resolution, which are essential climate elements needed to undertake building simulations. The datasets include typical and extreme weather years in the EnergyPlus weather file (EPW) format and multi-year projections in comma-separated value (CSV) format for three periods: historical (2001-2020), future mid-term (2041-2060), and future long-term (2081-2100). The weather files were generated based on the climate projections from the Regional Climate Model (RCM) MPI-RCA4, then bias-corrected using multiyear observational data for each city. The weather files are ready to be used in building energy simulations and systems design for adaptation and resilience studies.

The EPW is a weather file format used to run simulations in EnergyPlus. EPWs are text files and can be opened and edited in any text editor, spreadsheet tools or open-source software tools for creating and editing customised weather files, such as the Element software developed by Big Ladder Software (https://bigladdersoftware.com/projects/elements/).

The EnergyPlus Auxiliary Programmes document (attached Additional Info) describes EPW weather data and provides general information on weather data for energy simulations and weather file conversion.
