Documentation on required EPW variables to run EnergyPlus?

Not all data are necessary to run EnergyPlus. Does anyone know where I can look for a list of what data are essential?

I've looked at the following documents with no luck: https://energyplus.net/sites/default/files/pdfs_v8.3.0/GettingStarted.pdf https://energyplus.net/sites/default/files/pdfs_v8.3.0/InterfaceDeveloper.pdf https://energyplus.net/sites/default/files/pdfs_v8.3.0/AuxiliaryPrograms.pdf

BigLadder Software's Data Dictionary has been a great source to learn about the different variables, but I'm still not sure what I should consider completely necessary.

Thanks in advance!
