I'm running a model using the NewEnvelopeAndLighting compliance type to test the geometry and am getting the following error in CBECC-Com v3. The model does not have any HVAC systems and certainly doesn't have solar hot water so I'm at a loss for why a solar fraction error is occurring.

Error: Retrieving data from model 0 (invalid FluidSys property type (USER model, class 43, property type 2, iError 0)) in GetBEMProcData() evaluating rule: Set SIZING_PROPOSED FluidSys:AnnualSolFrac (80:'HVACPrimary-General.rule' line 857)

The rule file block from the error message, line 857 is SIZING PROPOSED.

The model ran without errors in v3c, so this is likely a bug in CBECC-Com v3.
