Development of expanded AMeDAS weather data for building energy calculation in Japan.

Author(s) : AKASAKA H., NIMIYA H., SOGA K., et al.

Summary

The most popular dense array system for weather data acquisition in Japan is Automated Meteorological Data Acquisition System (AMeDAS). However, the data from AMeDAS are not available for building energy calculation because of a lack of climatic elements and missing data. New weather data, expanded from the original AMeDAS data, have been developed for building energy calculations. The new weather data have been designated as Expanded AMeDAS weather data (EA weather data). EA weather data, including 842 stations throughout Japan, are available as hourly-based weather data sets. EA weather data are composed of the following eight climatic elements: atmospheric temperature, humidity ratio, horizontal global irradiation, atmospheric irradiation, wind direction, wind speed, precipitation, and sunshine duration.
