Weather Data Viewer enables users to view the frequency tables and joint frequency matrices for all 8,118 stations provided in the 2017 ASHRAE Handbook—Fundamentals. Using Microsoft® Excel®, users can display the tables in numeric form or plot the frequency distribution, the cumulative distribution function, and the mean coincident functions.

From 2007 through 2011, new available data was analysed on ASHRAE 1477-RP (original title 'Development of 'Typical Year' Weather Files from the ISH Database of Historical Weather Data for 2500 International Locations') to produce IWEC2 (International Weather for Energy Calculations Version 2) weather files for 3012 international locations. HIS chapter and the data on the accompanying CD-ROM pro-vide the climatic design information for 5564 locations in the United States, Canada, and around the world. This is an increase of 1142 stations from the 2005 ASHRAE Handbook—Fundamentals. The large number of stations, along with the addition of several new.

What is CCWorldWeatherGen?

The climate change world weather file generator (CCWorldWeatherGen) allows you to generate climate change weather files for world-wide locations ready for use in building performance simulation programs. It uses Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) Third Assessment Report model summary data of the HadCM3 A2 experiment ensemble which is available from the IPCC Data Distribution Centre (IPCC DDC) (1,2). The tool is Microsoft® Excel based and transforms ‘present-day’ EPW weather files into climate change EPW or TMY2 weather files which are compatible with the majority of building performance simulation programs.

The underlying weather file generation routines of this tool are based on the so-called ‘morphing’ methodology for climate change transformation of weather data, which was developed by Belcher, Hacker and Powell (3). It builds on previous work by the Sustainable Energy Research Group on climate change transformation of UK weather data (4) (see also the web pages on the CCWeatherGen tool).

The CCWorldWeatherGen tool allows you to generate climate change weather files with a few mouse clicks. You can produce ‘morphed’ EPW and TMY2 files as well as present-day TMY2 files from the original EPW format files. The tool is made available free of charge. However, it is solely distributed WITHOUT the required baseline weather files and/or climate change scenario data! (Please view sections 2.1 and 2.2 of the CCWorldWeatherGen Manual for information on where to obtain the required baseline data.)

Important – please note:
The CCWorldWeatherGen tool uses coarse General Circulation Model (GCM) data. Therefore, CCWorldWeatherGen users are requested to familiarise themselves with the IPCC assessment reports to appreciate limitations and handle uncertainties of the climate change weather data generated with this tool. For sites in the UK it is recommended to use the CCWeatherGen tool instead, as this uses more detailed Regional Climate Model (RCM) data.
