Hello everybody!
With DesignBuilder I created a .idf file version 6.0.0.023. I want to develop it in EnergyPlus (mainly to model pv and solar thermal). Online I found the version 7.0.0.036 of EnergyPlus.
During the simulation in EnergyPlus I got the following error:
** Severe ** IP: Possible incorrect IDD File
** ~~~ ** IDD Version:"IDD_Version 7.0.0.036"
** ~~~ ** Version in IDF="6.0.0.023" not the same as expected="7.0.0"
** ~~~ ** Possible Invalid Numerics or other problems
** Fatal ** IP: Errors occurred on processing IDF file. Preceding condition(s) cause termination.
Actually, I got also other errors (because of AdaptiveConvectionAlgorithm and probably because I didn't complete the model of the plants). However, I wonder whether downloading the version 6.0.0.023 of EnergyPlus is possible, please. I think it would be the best solution, wouldn't it?
Best Regards
