The OP's link was no longer valid when I tried it; @willyJohan, your recent comment (and link) allowed me to test this out, however -- thank you. Your model confirmed my suspicion regarding the OP's issue -- there is an issue in translating the OSM to Radiance format. In @willyJohan's case, there are no spaces configured for Radiance. This is reported in the stdout file from the simulation:
[openstudio.radiance.ForwardTranslator] <1> Model does not contain any spaces configured for Radiance; check illuminance map and daylighting control point assignments.
I'll readily admit this is not the most obvious error reporting, but there is your answer. The reason the Radiance translator is failing is that your model has no illuminance maps. You must have daylighting controls and illuminance maps in each Thermal Zone you wish to analyze with Radiance, and they must be assigned to Thermal Zones in order for the Radiance translator and the Radiance measure to work.
P.S. Your additional attachment, the idf code snippet, seemed to just be a bunch of TDD definitions. Bear in mind that these are not supported yet by the Radiance translator either. Sorry.
You are encouraged to request these issues be fixed. The Radiance measure is a working proof of concept that needs a lot of hardening and additional translator support added, IMO.
