TMYPlus: Typical Meteorological Year for thermal application design

A Typical Meteorological Year (TMY) was developed with a new method that combines the weighting factors of four sets of different TMY generators. The definition of the TMY is fundamental for the development of the climate file used by the Building Energy Simulation codes. This work is dedicated to the definition of the TMY in the city of Salta (1232 masl), Argentina, to be applied in the design of social housing, for sizing of photovoltaic systems, solar collectors, air and water heaters. It wa ...
