The epw file is just a text file. So if the CSV is alreadt in the right format you can just change the extension. If the format need to change then I would advice the following:

  • Change manually using a spreadsheet program like Excel.

  • Energyplus comes with a ‘Weather statistics and conversions’ tool. Try searching for that terms or look in the directory:
    YOUREPDIREnergyPlusV8-5-0\PreProcess\WeatherConverter\Weather.exe

  • The Elements tool by big ladder might also help:
