Opening an FWT File
The FWT file type is primarily associated with EnergyPlus.
What is an FWT file?
FWT files mostly belong to EnergyPlus. FWT files serve two distinct roles.
These files are used as weather data files in EnergyPlus simulations, holding climate information essential for building energy modeling. They contain parameters like temperature, humidity, and solar radiation that are read by the simulation engine. For more details, visit the EnergyPlus website.
They also function as terminal configuration files for FacetWin. In this role, the file stores settings that control the behavior and appearance of the FacetWin terminal. More information can be found at the FacetCorp website.

How to open FWT files
You need a suitable software like EnergyPlus to open an FWT file. Without proper software you will receive a Windows message "How do you want to open this file?" or "Windows cannot open this file" or a similar Mac/iPhone/Android alert. If you cannot open your FWT file correctly, try to right-click or long-press the file. Then click "Open with" and choose an application. You can also display a FWT file directly in the browser:.

Programs that open and convert FWT files:
- EnergyPlus
See the previous paragraphs to learn more about the main application. FWT files are often referred to as EnergyPlus data files because this type of file is primarily created or used by this software.
- FacetWin (Terminal Configuration) by Facet Corp.FacetWin is an all-in-one Windows to UNIX/Linux connectivity tool. When the FacetWin client is installed in Windows, a file-association is made so that a .FWT file launches fwt.exe, which then initiates a text terminal session similar to telnet or ssh based on the settings in the FWT file. Clicking on a .FWT file via http works in Internet Explorer but may not in other browsers. The file format is human readable plain text. This file format is classified as Text.
