Re: [EnergyPlus_Support] Need Help



The error file is pretty straightforward.  The last line:

   ************* EnergyPlus Completed Successfully-- 1 Warning; 0 Severe Errors; Elapsed Time=00hr 00min  4.47sec

shows that your model ran successfully, with just 1 warning.  Congratulations.  The 1 warning message:

   ** Warning ** GetInternalHeatGains: People="1_ROOM_PEOPLE", Activity Level Schedule Name values
   **   ~~~   ** fall outside typical range [70,1000] W/person for Thermal Comfort Reporting.
   **   ~~~   ** Schedule="MY SCHEDULE"; Odd comfort values may result. Entered min/max range=[0.0,1.0] W/person.

shows that you are defining the people activity level with a schedule called "My Schedule", but with values that fall outside of the typical range [70,1000].  It looks like your min/max on your schedule is [0,1].  Maybe you interpreted that schedule as a fraction, when actually it should be a value in Watts-per-Person. Schedule objects require a "scheduleLimits" object that defines validation values to use on any schedule.  Perhaps your schedule is fine, but you are using the wrong scheduleLimits object.

Hello Everyone,

My name is Muhammad Saqib and I am new in this area and I am learning EnergyPlus.  I am trying to simulate a very simple model on EnergyPlus but got struck on one point.  Please find attached the IDF, Audit & Error file.  If any body can help me how I can get rid of this error, I will be grateful.  Also, if any body knows the good manual/videos/articles which can help me in learning the EnergyPlus, it will be great help for me.

Awaiting for your prompt response.

Thanks & Regards;

Muhammad Saqib
