Climate Consultant 5 is even better than DView for studying EPW files. You can switch between SI and IP units. It is designed for client reports and presentations. I could not run it on 64-bit Windows-7 but it runs within the XP-Virtual-PC installed on the same computer. DOE2.1E also runs within XP-Virtual-PC
