Re: [EnergyPlus_Support] Simple model but no results





Did you add output variables?

Tabular Reports?

Without any HVAC system, you will get zone temperatures and indications for internal gains but not much else.

Are there any warnings in the .err file?

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.
