Esteban,

   You can use a different mode of Type15 to read *.epw files. If Type15 
is already in your project, right click on it and select "replace" from 
the context menu. You'll find the *.epw reading version of the Type15 
proforma in Weather Data Reading and Processing: Standard Format: 
Energy+ Weather: Type15-3.

kind regards,

  David
