Run Prototype DoE buildings with custom weather

Hello all,

I use the create_doe_prototype_building measure which seems to accept only a predefined list of epws. Tried to combine it with measure ChangeLocation but then it complains about not having a stat file. In the end I would just like to run the model with a custom epw. It seems basic so the answer may be out there but I could not find it, sorry about that.

Is there a simpler way ? My tentative workflow below
