IWEC2 EPW files

Ladybug doesn't recognize my epw files. I noticed that they are in the IWEC2 version.

Is there a way for me to open epw files that are in the version IWEC2? I desperately need to be able to use this version of EPW files to run a solar radiation simulation for a specific location.

Thanks in advance!

Hi Örn,

Have you tried the E+ Weather Converter tool? It's included in the E+ software package and resides in the PreProcess -> WeatherConverter folder in your E+ installation folder. Not sure if it will do the trick but could be worth trying.

Hi Mikael, thanks again for your suggestion.

To follow up a little bit; Do you know why Honeybee does not recognize .epw files with IWEC2 formatting? Studying .epw files with IWEC and IWEC2 formatting side by side, I can't see that there are any imidiate differences in the structure of the file. (Perhaps this is a question for Mostapha?) It seems strange that HB only recognizes IWEC since IWEC2 is the official version sold by ASHRAE.
