I need a weather profile to test the solar air heater's performance in summer. I know EnergyPlus provide the typical year' s weather profile, but if I use the whole summer weather file to test the solar air heater's performance, the computation takes quite a long time.

1. Is there a typical summer day weather profile for a specified plate so that I can use one day's weather data to do the simulation representing the whole summer period?

2. I noticed EnergyPlus provides designday condition profile which is a ddy type profile. Can this file be used as a typical day for my simulation?

3. If so, in the ddy profile for the summer design day, there are 5 or 7 conditions that can be chosen, so which one should I choose?

I Hi,all, i need a weather profile to test the solar air heater's performance in summer. I summer.i know EnergyPlus energy plus provide the typical year' s weather profile, but if I i use the whole summer weather file to test the solar air heater's performance, the computation takes take quite a long time.

1. Is So i want to know whether there is a typical summer day weather profile for a specified plate so that I i can use one day's weather data to do the simulation sumulation representing the whole summer period?

2. I period. i noticed EnergyPlus provides energy plus provide designday condition profile which is a ddy type profile. Can I am not sure this file can be used as a typical day for used in my simulation?

3. If so, simulation. and furtherly, in the ddy profile profile, for the summer design day, there are they have 5 or 7 conditions that can be chosen, choosen, so which one i should I choose?choose. thanks
