There is a small software tools published with energyplus - after the
installation of energyplus, you can find it under:

.\energyplus\PreProcess\WeatherConverter\Weather.exe

Then you can use this software converter your .epw file to .stat file. Then
open the .stat file in any text edit tools, you can find the climate zone
for this area.

But I find there will be some gaps between two calculation method:

   - hand calculation in excel and followed the criteria in ASHRAE 90.1


   - the climate zone find from the .stat file which calculates by
   "WeatherConverter"

Until now I still confuse why this could happen. And at last I choose the
result calculated by "WeatherConverter".
