@eldav, OpenStudio takes occupied hours directly from the OSM's schedule(s), using those (as well as "all daylit hours") in its metrics calcs. In the results you've included here it appears you don't have an occupancy schedule assigned to Space101 at all, which is causing your metrics to be mis-reported (occupied hours = zero is making the metrics calculator unhappy). You need to attach an occupancy schedule (AKA "people schedule") to your model. You can set schedules globally, and then override/refine them at the space level to define the 8am-5pm schedule you are looking for in this example. You can get a nice set of starter schedules from the templates; see (http://nrel.github.io/OpenStudio-user-documentation/next_steps/creating_your_model/) for more details.
