Abstract

The correct selecting of typical meteorological year is an important factor for accurate building energy simulation. In this study; the Sandia method has been applied to prepare the new TmyCreator software for selecting the proper data as the typical meteorological year (Tmy2). Also; the results of this new software have been compared with the available Tmy2 weather data file for two cities. It is found that; the results of TmyCreator software have good agreement with the old created Tmy2 weather data file for these cities.
