The most important parameter which affects the results of building energy analysis is the weather data and it can be obtained by different methods for the same location. Although lots of studies have been conducted for Türkiye, it was seen that the impact of different weather data for the same location has never been investigated. The aims of this study were to compare the heating and cooling demands of the buildings with respect to different weather files. Building loads were calculated using five different meteorological source data. Calculations are made for eight cities which represent heating and cooling dominated climates of Türkiye. Calculation procedure of internal heat gain was explained in detail. All simulations were performed using Energyplus v9.2. The findings of the comparison showed that although some results are similar to each other for some weather files, they could have great variances in the energy analysis also. A common missing meteorological data-filling algorithm may be developed in order to reduce the deviations in energy analysis results.
