Re: [EnergyPlus_Support] Problems with Total Floor Area



   
    I looked to the multipliers, and all zones has an multiplier equal 1. I figured the from the coordinates of vertices and I obtained the areas values like to the OpenStudio, but when I see in the Output reports HTML, the values of floor areas are different.... So I don´t now if the source problem it´s from OpenStudio or EnergyPlus.
    I looked to the GlobalGeometryRules, and I think that´s correct, like you can see where.

GlobalGeometryRules,
    LowerLeftCorner,         !- Starting Vertex Position
    CounterClockWise,        !- Vertex Entry Direction
    Relative;                !- Coordinate System

Sounds like some of the zones have multipliers.

Dear EnergyPlus support,

After finished my project in Google SketchUp with OpenStudio (OS), I opened the idf file in EnergyPlus, and run the simulation. I have a problem in Total Floor Area!

The problem is, the Total Floor Area in EnergyPlus is different of OS in EnergyPlus I have 7420,26 m² and in OS I have 4874,654 m², according with the plant architectural, the areas of OS agreed with the plants. The floor areas of the zones P1_xxxxxxx, have twice the area. But is not only the values of floor areas that are duplicated, also the Gross Wall Area of that zones (P1_xxxxxx).

The floor area of OpenStudio is correct. I don´t understand why this problem happens in EnergyPlus. Does anyone help me and explain why I have this problem!?

I´m already using the new version of OpenStudio 1.0.5.355 and EnergyPlus 5.0, with a computer with in Windows XP Professional (which I think that don´t have any interference) .

Before write here I sent this message with some pictures and idf file´s to the SkecthUp group support´s, but so far, they doesn´t know what´s wrong or mistakes with this files.

Thanks for your support,
