Abstract

Standard temperature and absolute humidity weather data correlations of Seoul for dynamic energy simulation have been developed regressing the measured data compiled by the Korea Meteorological Adminstration during a l0-year period from 1991 to 2000. The mathematical equations can generate consistent daily and yearly variations of outdoor weather data unlike the measured data which may show abnormal behavior. Considering that each hour of the day follows a certain yearly pattern, 24 correlations are developed for each hour of the day. The derived simple mathematical equations can be used for estimating outdoor temperature and humidity conditions for any arbitrary time of the year.
