[EnergyPlus_Support] Re: MicroCHP Generator Air nodes

["dgerome06" <derochejerome@xxxxxxxxxx>]

I have already tried with OutdoorAir:Node but the error appears.
So I tried something new. I completed the zone name field in Generator:MicroCHP to work with exhaust node but a crash happened.
The example file is using exhaust node.

I can upload my .idf file if someone is interested in solving my problem with me. Maybe someone has already done microCHP with outdoord air??

Thank you
