<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D">I recently had a very similar experience as you. I had two epw files that ESP-r could not read with a similar message as yours and similar data trends as those in your photo.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D">I tried to then use the files in OpenStudio and OpenStudio could not open them either.
<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D">We then used DesignBuilder which has what it seems to be a very good weather converter tool and it fixed the files</span><span style="color:windowtext"> with one click</span><span style="color:#1F497D">. I think
the evaluation version of DesignBuilder will be enough for you if you want to do the same thing or I can convert them for you if you do not have too many files.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D">Finally, the new epw files were then read fine by both ESP-r and OpenStudio. The “before” and “after” files are too large to attach them here (4MB in total) but happy to send them to anyone who wants to compare
them. The only differences between the two files are in lines 2 to 8 (header of epw).<o:p></o:p></span></p>
