URBANopt combined project not running

I am trying to run the combined example project (combining residential and commercial workflows) with a non US epw weather file and for some reason the project doesn't run. I made sure to change the weather file names in the features .json file and in the base_workflow.osw from the mappers folder but still didn't work. I tried to run the same feature file and scenario with the default weather file (from Buffalo) and it worked so it seems like the residential feature is not finding the weather file in the weather folder? When I run the project, it creates the folders for each feature in the Run folder, but the residential feature folder is empty and the other features only have the in.osw files on them.

Any idea how can I fix this issue? Thanks in advance for your help.

The URBANopt residential workflow only supports US weather files out of the box. The error you are running into here is related to a WMO to climate_zone lookup that returns nothing. I have filed an issue to make UO fail more gracefully when this situation occurs: https://github.com/urbanopt/urbanopt-...

A workaround for this issue is to add a row to the climate zone lookup file with your weather file's WMO and climate_zone. That should get you around that issue. The file can be found in your project directory under resources -> hpxml-resources -> HPXMLtoOpenStudio -> resources -> data -> climate_zones.csv
