OpenStudio cannot find building location

Hello all,

I've been adding space types to my energy model and I've come across a confusing error. The severe errors I'm getting are:

* Severe * No Location given. Must have location information for simulation. * Warning * Did you realize that you have Latitude=0.0, Longitude=0.0 and TimeZone=0.0? Your building site is in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean. * Warning * Weather Environment(s) requested, but no weather file found * Severe * GetNextEnvironment: No location specified, program will terminate. * Fatal * Previous Conditions cause program termination.

I've made sure that my weather file and design days are specified in the model, but it seems like open studio is not reading this into the E+ simulation. My previous revision did not have this problem and the only thing I have updated since this revision was replacing the default ASHRAE space types with my own space types. This is confusing since I still have the same weather file and design days file loaded from the previous revision. I tried inputting a different weather and design days file, but these errors still keep appearing. I'm not sure what to make of this.

I've posted my .osm file below if anyone could take look, I've tried everything I thought of to fix this error:

Thanks!
