Evaluation of the 'Typical Meteorological Years' for Solar Heating and Cooling System Studies: Final Report

    Research output: NRELSubcontract Report

    Abstract

    This report is a summary of an evaluation of the weather data set, generated at Sandia Laboratories, known as the 'Typical Meteorological Year' (TMy) Data. The purpose of the evaluation is to determine how well the TMY data represent actual long-term weather data in affecting the performance of solar heating and cooling systems. The two data sets are compared through detailed SHAC simulation.
