Re: [EnergyPlus_Support] Fwd: Energy Plus + Google SketchUp + OpenStudio





Hi Giovanni.

Check the boundary condition on the window A722B6. It's set to ground and the program doesn't like windows on underground walls :)

As for the second error, seems that a window / door doesnt have its vertices well (input order must comply with whatever you have on the global geometry rules object). but can't say for sure without more details, attach your idf so we can have a look.

Pedro.

Good Morning,

I am an Italian student and I m trying to use Energy Plus and GoogleSketchUp (with openStudio) to study the heating requirements of a small health center in Tanzania for an international cooperation project by Engineers without Borders.
I have many problems. I built the building in SketchUp but I can't have results of the simulation (Fatal error - 3 severe errors...), I am using IDF-Editor to modify the idf file without results.

I have the feeling I am totally missing something basic.
Can someone help me?

Giovanni Macchitelli
