This dataset includes TMY files for all municipalities in Norway, produced in conjunction with the Norwegian standard NS 3031:2025 Energy performance of buildings Calculation of energy and power demand. The files are based on CERRA data from 1991-2020, and produces using a TMY3 type methodology, where the FS weighing is skewed towards temperatures during the winter months (October to March). The files represents a statistically typical year meant for energy calculations of buildings, and are therefore not suited for evaluating extreme conditions.
