Cloudy with a chance of data errors
Industry stakeholders have highlighted issues with widely used weather and climate datasets that they say can cause significant errors for building energy modellers. Since August 2021, the CSIRO has distributed free weather and climate datasets for use by building energy modellers for estimating HVAC energy demand and consumption, as well as moisture management under typical […]

New CSIRO weather files reflect changing climate
CSIRO has published predictive and typical meteorological year weather files suitable for use by building energy simulation software. For many years, building designers in Australia have faced a problem: the standard weather files for building simulation did not reflect the impacts of a changing climate, in particular summer overheating risks. This issue was highlighted in […]
