Ashmin,
It may be possible to use Type99 in the manner that you want but I would recommend that you use Type9 to read the minute data and then Type16 to process it and compute the values on the other surfaces.
kind regards,
David
Dear all,I was using type 99 for reading the data and was using it as a radiation processor (with hourly input data for global radiation on horizontal and diffuse radiation on horizontal). But now I need to validate my simulation with my experimental work . I have weather data from measurements (global radiation on horizontal and diffuse radiation on horizontal) at 1 min interval for some particular days. I couldn’t obtain tilted surface radiation (radiation on the building facade) within 1 min. data. My question is how to input 1 min global and diffuse horizontal radiation data and get the value for each facade of the building using the radiation processor (be it type 99 or type 16 i or any other radiation processor).I tried to input the weather data similar to what we do for hourly data by changing the hours in minutes as follows but i couldn't get any data for radiation in other tilted surfaces (building walls).<userdefined> <longitude> -100.49 ! east of greenwich: negative <latitude> 13.75 !
