Emerging Technologies: Using Weather Data for Predictive Control

For building design and design of space conditioning systems, weather information for the buildings location is essential. The traditional approach has been to use information on temperature and humidity extremes to determine design cooling and heating loads and specify cooling and heating equipment accordingly. Information on the variation of temperature, humidity, and insolation throughout the year is needed to assess how well the building will perform through an entire year.
