Hello,
I'm getting severe errors from internal gains calculations, the PEOPLE object, and it appears to be that the e+ engine is confused about which field is which:
The .err file is telling me that I should be using values of model types (i.e., "Fanger," "Pierce," etc) for my clothing insulation schedule name and air velocity schedule name. These are warnings, but the engine breaks down at a severe error where "CLOTHINGINSULATIONSCHEDULE" isn't recognized as a clothing insulation calculation method. I've tried the different configurations from the inputOutputReference with no success. Has anyone run into these issues?
Here's my people object:
People,
CORE-PEOPLE, !- Name
AllCoreZones, !- Zone or ZoneList Name
BLDG_OCC_SCH, !- Number of People Schedule Name
Area/Person, !- Number of People Calculation Method
, !- Number of People
, !- People per Zone Floor Area {person/m2}
OccDensity[], !- Zone Floor Area per Person {m2/person}
0.3000, !- Fraction Radiant
AUTOCALCULATE, !- Sensible Heat Fraction
ACTIVITY_SCH, !- Activity Level Schedule Name
3.82E-8, !- Carbon Dioxide Generation Rate {m3/s-W}
No, !- Enable ASHRAE 55 Comfort Warnings
ZoneAveraged, !- Mean Radiant Temperature Calculation Type
, !- Surface Name/Angle Factor List Name
WORK_EFF_SCH, !- Work Efficiency Schedule Name
ClothingInsulationSchedule, !- Clothing Insulation Calculation Method
, !- Clothing Insulation Calculation Method Schedule Name
CLOTHING_SCH, !- Clothing Insulation Schedule Name
AIR_VELO_SCH, !- Air Velocity Schedule Name
FANGER; !- Thermal Comfort Model 1 Type
_________________________And here's the .err output:
** Warning ** GetInternalHeatGains: People="CORE-PEOPLE", invalid Clothing Insulation Schedule Name Option=CLOTHING_SCH** ~~~ ** Valid Values are "Fanger", "Pierce", "KSU", "AdaptiveASH55", "AdaptiveCEN15251"** Warning ** GetInternalHeatGains: People="CORE-PEOPLE", invalid Air Velocity Schedule Name Option=AIR_VELO_SCH** ~~~ ** Valid Values are "Fanger", "Pierce", "KSU", "AdaptiveASH55", "AdaptiveCEN15251"** Severe ** GetInternalHeatGains: People="CORE-PEOPLE", invalid Clothing Insulation Calculation Method entered=CLOTHINGINSULATIONSCHEDULE** Severe ** GetInternalHeatGains: People="CORE-PEOPLE", blank Clothing Insulation Calculation Method Schedule Name is required for this item.Thanks for the thoughts!
