You're right, Eppy is failing to read the IDD for EnergyPlus 8.5, so for now yes, it's unsupported. I've just checked and 8.4 is working fine so I'll have a look at what the differences are.

I've made an issue on the Eppy GitHub page so that this gets addressed and I'll update this answer once 8.5 support is in place.

Update My bad, I'd accidentally changed the encoding on my installed version of 8.5 and it had messed something up. Reinstalling EnergyPlus restored the original encoding and there's now no problem running Eppy with EnergyPlus 8.5.

My suggestion is to reinstall EnergyPlus 8.5, but I've made an issue on the Eppy GitHub page so that in case this gets addressed and I'll update this answer once 8.5 support is in place.doesn't work.
