Do you have an AirLoopHVAC that serves no zones? Or zones that have zero area?
From AirLoopHVAC#L349:
OpenStudio.logFree(OpenStudio::Debug, 'openstudio.standards.AirLoopHVAC', "For #{name}: flow per area = #{cfm_per_ft2.round} cfm/ft^2.")
And if you go up a little:
# Calculate and report the total area for debugging/testing
floor_area_served_m2 = floor_area_served
floor_area_served_ft2 = OpenStudio.convert(floor_area_served_m2, 'm^2', 'ft^2').get
cfm_per_ft2 = dsn_air_flow_cfm / floor_area_served_ft2
# Calculate the total floor area of all zones attached
# to the air loop, in m^2.
#
# return [Double] the total floor area of all zones attached
# to the air loop, in m^2.
def floor_area_served
total_area = 0.0
thermalZones.each do |zone|
total_area += zone.floorArea
end
return total_area
end
