Short Description
Trevor Lee, as Director of Exemplary Energy has developed representative data from Bureau of Meteorology measurements since 1990 based on a cumulative difference algorithm allowing targeted weighting of the individual weather elements to select the most indicative actual January, February etc. to construct a full indicative year. For solar energy applications, a 25% weighting is given to each of Global Horizontal Irradiation (GHI) and Direct Normal Irradiation (DNI). The data can be provided in any format.
Visit www.exemplary.com.au to check for the Copyright and Methodology, for Weather Element Weightings and for Conditions of Supply.
For detailed information about this approach please refer to the International Building Performance Simulation Association (IBPSA) conference paper: Lee - paper (PDF - 228k).
