This site is tremendous. Great work.
Its not always that a full epw file is needed.
An idea for a feature is to be able to click anywhere on the map and download or copy location data in the LB format:

Site:Location,
[LOC NAME],
60.30, !Latitude
5.22, !Longitude
1.0, !Time Zone
50.0; !Elevation

It seems that a lot of them have changes from their original URLs. To see an example the onnebuilding file in the center of Tokyo is not a valid URL right now.

For now I can just plot the information for the location and plot a pie chart for comfort hours. Just proof of concept.

Copying the ZIP file link to the clipboard is pretty essential for my workflow with the "Import EPW and STAT" component. Are there plans in the works for this at some point?

@mostaphaRoudsari can we enable "no labels" for the topographical map/BW view?

Hello, I can not open the website when I try to copy the epw file position for my simulation. I tryied several browsers and always got the same freezed page. I really need the URL postion of Xingyi,Guizhou,China for my simulations and I ask for all of your help. I konw it is a very simple question but I can not go on with my simulation without it. Many thanks,.
Anyone who can help me to solve this problem or help me to copy the URL postion of the weather data?

Thanks a lot.

I just noticed that this information appears to be missing:

There should be a search tab that find the location by keyword and zoom to location

Hi Mostapha, thanks for adding this new function. but it seems there is a displaying issue about min default dot size. is that possible to do the "relative" size for each dot that is within the viewport?

You can't transition back to Map view after you click on Satellite View

Having horizontal legends are not the best approach, considering that we will have a couple of other types added to the list soon. I think an alternative option is to have it up right under Map|Satellites.

@mostaphaRoudsari , I was having a random thought the other day about the website and desided to have a go but not succefully yet, but I want first to see what you think.
As much as I love the epwmap it is quite heavy when you want to navigate around without typing in the search bar.
I was trying to implement a function where it filters out all data when draging / zooming and then filters them in again after 1s.

The idea is that while you zoom or pan, you dont have any of the heavy data showing and once you arive to the area you like then it brings back all the information.

I was trying something like the image below without success, but if you agree on this I will figure it out.

a pop up window that gives a simple report should be good

It is cool to open an issue to connect two products which are not available yet. Right now I think that it will be done manually by user but if all the .epw files being hosted somewhere this is the easiest thing to do! Why not?

What is Ladybug+? mostaphaRoudsari/visualization-experiments#10

I'm so excited for this one. New weather files that are double checked and also will get updated, available for free! What could be better than this?

Announcing...
http://climate.onebuilding.org

A new site for EPW file availability.

Why Should I download Climate Data Files from Climate.OneBuilding?

2013 Design Condtions from ASHRAE Fundamentals Handbook
New Weather Data Sets that You Can't Get from EnergyPlus web site
Frequently Updated as New Weather Data Sets and Design 
Conditions are Released
Consistent naming and locations validated:
Washington, DC 
vs USA_VA_Arlington-Ronald.Reagan.Washington. National.AP
Coming soon (See the news page for plans and current status):
Select locations from maps (or text/table as now)
Statistics and graphics
And lots more stuff...

Thanks to Gard and onebuilding for hosting this site.
There will be no charges for data on this site.

@mostaphaRoudsari,
I'm interested in knowing the basis behind the Hours of Comfort result on EPWmap. Can you please point me to the calc in your code or any other resource?

In some cases that data is available for Multiple types (TMY, TMY2, TMY3,...). In this cases I should just draw one of them I think, otherwise it looks like a mess.

I have found that the Queenstown New Zealand location on EPWMAP does not work (404 error, suggesting the resource is not there, but I think it is actually the resource no longer has the name allocated in the epwmap link).

In fact, on onebuilding.org there are three files for this one town:
They are:
http://climate.onebuilding.org/WMO_Region_5_Southwest_Pacific/NZL_New_Zealand/OTA_Otago/NZL_OTA_Queenstown.AP.938310_TMYx.zip

http://climate.onebuilding.org/WMO_Region_5_Southwest_Pacific/NZL_New_Zealand/OTA_Otago/NZL_OTA_Queenstown.QL.938310_NIWA.zip

The epwmap links to this address:

Is there a way of flagging these for correction when people find them?

Hi Mostapha,
This is very nice.
As a wish: Maybe sometime in the future different weather data sources can be implemented?
I know different applications (Autodesk's) use such sources. Maybe they are sintetically created or otherwise. But can be nice to have other sources, specially for places where official epws are scarce.
Thanks,
-A.

hello everyone and I had an issue when I try to calculate my indoor microcliamte map, it siad thatthe length of data in the comfresultsMTX does not match the number of faces in the view factor mesh. I would thank you all so much if any of you could help to solve it.

here is my issure screenshot and I find i can not submit my zip file which include the definition and model. so I post my internet disck address here and you can download the file use the PIN. I will try to figure out the problem about why I can not sumbit my zip file later.

Thank you so much for all your guys help.

Th is issue is continuing what @alemenchaca started here:
https://github.com/mostaphaRoudsari/epwmap/issues/1

Namely, it would be great if the summary that pops up when you scroll over EPW files displayed the heating/cooling design day temperatures that are typically used to size HVAC systems and understand the coldest and warmest temperatures of a given climate. The usual way that these design temperatures are derived is by taking a temperature that represents 1 percentile of the coldest and warmest possible times of the year (since it's usually not reasonable to take the coldest temperature ever recorded in a given climate). Sometimes a 0.4 percentile is also used if a HVAC engineer needs to be particularly conservative. I'm imagining these values going right below the hours of outdoor comfort on the map:

Usually the easiest way to get these design temperatures is to pull them from the .stat file and I have highlighted where they are located here:

@mostaphaRoudsari , you can also calculate these values from analysis of the EPW data by sorting all dry bulb temperatures and then taking the 88th temperature for the 1% design day condition (since 8760 x 1% = 87.6) but the stat file method above is more accurate.

Let me know if you need help bringing this to fruition.

I have no idea how to do this one but should be possible. Except US and some locations in China that there are so many stations next to each other it is not really an issue.

It is specially important for the US where there are multiple copies of TMY files for the same location.
