Both HDD and CDD can be obtained via the "weather" utility in the EP Launch Utilities tab. You ask for a statistic report of your EPW filke, and it createas such statistic report. As for CDD and HDD, close to the end of the file you find these lines (taken from one of my local climate files): - Heating/Cooling Degree Days/Hours calculated from this weather file. - Heating/Cooling Degree Days/Hours from design conditions shown earlier in this report. - Monthly Weather File Heating/Cooling Degree Days/Hours Jan Feb Mar Apr May Jun Jul Aug Sep Oct Nov Dec HDD base 10C 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0
