Re: Issue when converting an EPW file to WTH file

[Buddila Wijeyesekera]

Hi everyone.

I am currently trying to convert the energy plus weather files (epw) to contam weather file format (.wth). But there seems to be an error and data loss in one of the timestep, I tried both with DST checked in  and unchecked yet the issue persist in both the instances. I have attached the error. I'd appreciate it if you could signpost/direct me to a resource to find a solution to this error or your help is greatly appreciated as well. I have already gone through contam weather file creator 2.0 documentation but cannot seem to get around the solution for this. 

Kind regards

Buddila,

The problem is in the field that provides the minutes for the date/time of each record.

The EPW file has minutes equal to 60 instead of 0.

 

Changing these values to 0 eliminates the problem.

I have attached the corrected EPW file and WTH file generated from it.
