Your problem is either the Ecotect extraction or the ccf (custom format) you are using from Ecotect to make the epw file.<br /><br />I think it's actually complaining that the first day of February is 32 and not 1. I just ran into this with someone else.<br /><br />I posted a revised ccf for using Ecotect to make EPW files on the Yahoo Group. If you are a member of that (EnergyPlus), or I can send it to you directly.<br /><br />Linda<br /><br /><br />

The opposite way is applied, Using ECOTECT conversion<br />tool to generate an epw to be used with DB later on.<br /><br />DB at any way didn't accept the final epw with my data, it always say "year 2001<br />month2 has 32 days" despite i have removed these extra days many times !!<br /><br /><br />Any suggestions !!<br /><br />Many thanks,<br />Mohamad.<br />-------------<br /><br />Quoting Linda Lawrie <linda@lawrie.com>:<br /><br />> What are you trying to do (which program) with the weather data?<br />> <br />> the EnergyPlus Weather converter makes a "special" csv format that <br />> includes it's headers.
