Abstract

The paper discusses methods of selecting typical weather data and describes the selection of test reference years (TRYs) for Subang, Malaysia. The TRYs were selected using the Finkelstein-Schafer statistic, from 19 years of meteorological data recorded during the period 1980-98. Changing the weighting of the various meteorological variables (dry bulb temperature, solar radiation, relative humidity and wind speed) in the range appropriate for building performance studies had little effect on the selection, so it is recommended that equal weightings should be used unless there are particular reasons for using some other weighting. The replacement of relative humidity by moisture content had little effect on the selection. © 2006 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
