Josep,
Try to answer your own question – this is impossible because you have given no information other than saying “something” seemed to work in v6 and no longer works.
If you are interested in knowing whether there is a bug in V8, then you have shared enough information. If you want help to solve the problem, more information is required!

Subject: [EnergyPlus_Support] Ventilated facdes
I found some troubles modeling ventilated facades in newer versions 7.2 & 8 (in version 6 it works properly)
I model the surface wit “Other Side ConditionsModel” I include the “Surface property Other side conditions model” and “Exterior Natural Vented Cavity” objects and the model runs ok if there are no windows in the surface
But:
if there are windows on the surface, I got the following severe error. ** GetSurfaceData: Subsurface="VENTANASUR" exterior condition [ExternalEnvironment] in a base surface="SURSALON" with exterior condition [OSCM]
Is it a bug in V8.0? or I m doing something wrong?

Asunto: [EnergyPlus_Support] Unit Conversion for ESO file
Hello,
I am optimizing the energy performance by coupling EnergyPlus with GenOpt. GenOpt collects the results from ESO output file where the unit is set to JOULE by default. As the values are very big number, GenOpt shows error for that. I converted SI unit to IP unit from EpLauncher option, but it works only for manual runs. For automatic runs with GenOpt, it goes to the default SI setting automatically.
Is there anyway that I can change the unit to GigaJoule/kWh/Btu in IDF file that will change the unit in ESO file?
Or Is there anyway that I can set it that for automatic runs with GenOpt also it will convert to IP?
Any suggestion will be appreciated.
