I am a first time user of this program EnergyPlus using Open Studio on Windows. My intention on this initial pass was to make a simple model to estimate the heat load entering the skin of our building on very hot days.
Built model (only a structure with appropriate materials and not including any loads or cooling)
Oriented it (long,lat,elev,rotation)
Input weather file
Ran simulation
I thought this would present the data I was looking for but it did not. The simulation runs and presents me a report that is zero for any calculated value.
Other than inputting the weather file and orienting the building I don't recall any parameters I set dealing with environmental conditions. Anyone know what I am missing? Hoping to be pointed in right direction.
