RE: [EnergyPlus_Support] OpenStudio and Energyplus Help

Jaime,

I looked at the .osm file and it looks like you don’t have your space attached to your thermal zone. If you go to the Facility tab on the left (looks like a building), and drill down Small Office – Building Story 1 – Space 101 and click on Space 101, you’ll see the Thermal Zone field is empty. Click on the My Model tab on the right side and open Thermals Zones and you can drag Thermal Zone 1 into the Thermal Zone box for that space. This should take care of the error. Every Thermal Zone needs to have a Space(s).

Thanks,

Hi everyone! i am beginner with the OpenStudio GUI, can you help me please?.

Just i did was a 1 story building (very simple) and when i run the simulation, it did not work, the errors that it shows was:

Program Version,EnergyPlus-Windows-OMP-32 7.2.0.006, YMD=2013.07.24 14:46,IDD_Version 7.2.0.006

** Warning ** ManageSizing: For a zone sizing run, there must be at least 1 Sizing:Zone input object. SimulationControl Zone Sizing option ignored.

** Severe ** GetSurfaceData: Zone has no surfaces, Zone=THERMAL ZONE 1

** Fatal ** GetSurfaceData: Errors discovered, program terminates.

...Summary of Errors that led to program termination:

..... Reference severe error count=1

..... Last severe error=GetSurfaceData: Zone has no surfaces, Zone=THERMAL ZONE 1

************* Warning: Node connection errors not checked - most system input has not been read (see previous warning).

************* Fatal error -- final processing. Program exited before simulations began. See previous error messages.

************* EnergyPlus Warmup Error Summary. During Warmup: 0 Warning; 0 Severe Errors.

************* EnergyPlus Sizing Error Summary. During Sizing: 1 Warning; 0 Severe Errors.

************* EnergyPlus Terminated--Fatal Error Detected. 1 Warning; 1 Severe Errors; Elapsed Time=00hr 00min 1.56sec

Does anyone know what would happen? i do not know how to check the surfaces in thermal zone 1. any clue?

BW: I attached the files.
