Weather dataset (Typical Downscaled Year, Extreme Cold Year, Extreme Warm Year) for building energy simulations (.epw format) in recent past climate, Leuven Casa Blanca, Belgium

<p>Typical Downscaled Year (TDY), Extreme Cold Year and Extreme Warm Year&nbsp;based on the methodology of Nik (2016), is extracted for the location of the Casa Blanca Neighbourhood Leuven (50&deg;52&#39;48&quot;N 4&deg;43&#39;48&quot;E) from the EC-Earth driven convection-permitting climate model COSMO-CLM&nbsp;for the Belgian domain extended with land-surface scheme TERRA_URB(v2.0) making use of the SURY (Semi-empirical URban canopY) parameterization ( Wouters et al. 2016).&nbsp; The integrations are&nbsp;identical to the ones which are&nbsp;described in Vanden Broucke et al. (2019).&nbsp;The climate model has a spatial resolution of 2.8 km and an hourly temporal resolution and is available for the recent past (1976-2004) and future (2070-2098) as 30-year datasets. For this dataset, the TDY, ECY, and EWY are&nbsp;extracted for the recent past period.&nbsp;A bias correction is applied for the following variables:&nbsp;temperature (as described in Ramon et al. 2020), solar radiation and relative humidity as described in Ramon et al. (202X).</p>
