Hi all,
I'm working on modeling a large building consisting of 3 floors. I'm trying to run a simulation before configuring all equipments and loads, so I assumed that the whole building is one Thermal Zone.
After Simulating the IDF file that I exported from OpenStudio, I have got some severe errors, as following:
Severe ** Node OS:NODE 15 connects to no component
** Occurs in Supply Air Path=AIRLOOPHVAC:SUPPLYPATH {43AD326D-DB3B-4578-8C7F-7285017B8EA0}
** Check the connection to a ZoneHVAC:EquipmentConnections object
** Check if this component is missing from the Supply Air Path
** Severe ** An outlet node in AirLoopHVAC="OS:AIRLOOPHVAC 1" is not connected to any zone
** Could not match ZoneEquipGroup Inlet Node="OS:NODE 7" to any Supply Air Path or controlled zone
I have attached a folder contains the IDF editor file, the EP file, the error file and the heat load spreadsheet that I got after the simulation.
Also you will find two pictures of the Google SketchUp Model, just to give you an idea about the case.
Any Suggestions??
