Location of ASHRAE standard climate zone in .stat files not consistent

Dear all,

I am writing some code which will extract the ASHRAE climate zone/climate type (3A, 5A etc) from .stat files, I noticed that the location of this information is not consistent across different stat files.

Before I go ahead and write code to test all the different stat files and the location of this information, I am wondering has someone done this before is there some existing code available? Basically I want to get the ASHRAE climate zone for a particular epw file.

Is there a better way to get this information from say the epw or some other source?

Many thanks!

Here is some basic regular expression code that gets the climate zone out of some .stat files.

NRCan is working on a full-blown method which reads the EPW file, calculates HDD, CDD, etc. That code currently lives in this file and this file
