  3. A good understanding of SUEWS is a prerequisite to the proper use of SuPy.

supy.util.gen_epw

supy.util.gen_epw(df_output: pandas.core.frame.DataFrame, lat, lon, tz=0, path_epw=PosixPath('uTMY.epw')) → Tuple[pandas.core.frame.DataFrame, str, pathlib.Path][source]

Generate an epw file of uTMY (urbanised Typical Meteorological Year) using SUEWS simulation results

Parameters:
  • df_output (pd.DataFrame) – SUEWS simulation results.
  • path_epw (Path, optional) – Path to store generated epw file, by default Path(‘./uTMY.epw’).
  • lat (float) – Latitude of the site, used for calculating solar angle.
  • lon (float) – Longitude of the site, used for calculating solar angle.
  • tz (float) – time zone represented by time difference from UTC+0 (e.g., 8 for UTC+8), by default 0 (i.e., UTC+0)
Returns:

df_epw, text_meta, path_epw –

  • df_epw: uTMY result
  • text_meta: meta-info text
  • path_epw: path to generated epw file
Return type:

Tuple[pd.DataFrame, str, Path]
