EPW is just a data format. There are no assumptions about what height the wind speeds are measured.
Internationally, the standard height is 10 m, but in the US the tradition has been 10 ft or 3 m. If you really
need to know, you have to track down the station from which the data was obtained.

Does any body know what height the wind speed measurement in a epw is assumed to be taken at? 2m? 10m?
