Re: [EnergyPlus_Support] false zone name duplicates





You need to send your file to the helpdesk, we can help you there.

Limitations for Interfaces/names are shown in both the Interface Developer's guide and early in the IOReference.

Specifically, if they aren't unique in the first 100 characters...   However, I believe it will tell you if you try to input something over 100 characters in an alpha field.

Search your file -- it seems like you've put in two zones of same name.

The zone names in the error text I sent were unique. Here they are again:

   ** Severe  ** Zone Name, duplicate name=3VNKUXOQHBBEMAAXJHDMKM
   ** Severe  ** Zone Name, duplicate name=3VNKUXOQHBBEMAAXJHDMKH
   ** Severe  ** Zone Name, duplicate name=3VNKUXOQHBBEMAAXJHDMKV
   ** Severe  ** Zone Name, duplicate name=3VNKUXOQHBBEMAAXJHDMKE

Clearly, something else is going on.

Then I would use FloorNumberCounter:SpaceNumberCounter

The colon here is key to avoiding the zone id matching other number series that might be found in the vertices. Ideally the zone name would be completely unique such that, if I used your tool to generate an idf,  I could run a find and replace routine for your zone name to replace with my own zone name without ruining the file.

One example of a software tool that ignored this is designbuilder. When it exports an .idf, it gives the constructions numbers like 1. If you decide that you would rather it be named something like ExteriorWall, well it certainly doesn't work to replace all instances of 1 with ExteriorWall
