Surrogate City Finder- Weather Data Tool

Weather data is the one of the important inputs for the building energy simulation and is available for almost all major cities of the world. However, there are still some cities, for which weather data is not readily available in the format suitable for energy simulation. To address this problem, we have developed a web-based tool called Surrogate City Finder (SCF). For a given location, for which there is no weather file available, the tool shortlists the bestmatched weather files based on parameters such as the latitude, altitude, and temperature range of the given location. The SCF tool has been tested by analysing the annual energy consumption of 16reference building models simulated for eight locations from different international climate zones and their surrogate cities. In most cases, the deviation in annual energy consumption was within two percent.
