I am attempting to run eppy to calculate the floor area of a zone. However, my idf file is EnergyPlus 8.5. I noticed the documentation refers to the resources folder for EnergyPlus up to version 8.1.
Does eppy support EnergyPlus 8.5?
If it does, can someone help me with the below error I receive when trying to load an idf file?
UnicodeEncodeError: 'charmap' codec can't encode characters in position 26-27: character maps to <undefined>
Looking online it appears to be an encoder error, like there is an unsupported symbol in the idf file. However, if that were the case I would likely not be able to run EnergyPlus. I have checked the file and the encoder is utc-8. So I'm not sure if the error is related to me or support for EnergyPlus 8.5.
Best, Justin
