One of the input factors that influence the precision and quality of simulated results for energy consumption simulations is the type of the weather data used, especially for such weather dependant applications like indirect evaporative cooling equipment, where the dry-bulb temperature and humidity readings influences directly the operation mode of equipment. This study compares and evaluates the available options of hourly weather data to be used for energy consumption simulations, discussing the advantages and limitations of typical year against real past meteorological hourly data.
