Where can I get hourly weather data for my project locations

DesignBuilder is provided with a large database of hourly weather data freely downloadable on demand, however, if you need weather data for a particular location there are various options:

1. DesignBuilder Climate Analytics provides a wide range of Typical year, Design year and Actual year hourly weather data for any site worldwide through an easy-to-use web page. You can order a licence for Climate Analytics to access the hourly weather data directly yourself, or you can order individual weather files through DesignBuilder.
2. climate.onebuilding.org offers a repository of Typical year TMYx weather data covering more than 17,476 locations worldwide. It is developed and curated by Dru Crawley and Linda Lawrie, the original developers of the EPW weather file format. Data from this site can be accessed at no charge.
   
3. EnergyPlus weather files can be downloaded at no cost via Climate Analytics or by visiting the energyplus.net/weather website. Data for 2,458 locations is provided.
