Hi everyone,

I’m trying to override surface temperatures in EnergyPlus using Schedule:Compact + EMS, generated from ENVI-met receptor data. I’ve scripted this in Python and created 288 Until: entries per day (5-min timestep) for each surface.

But when I run the simulation (E+ 24.1), I get this error for each surface:

* Severe * ProcessScheduleInput: ProcessIntervalFields, Processing time fields, incomplete day detected * ~~~ * ref Schedule:Compact="BATHROOM_0_FACE1_AIRTEMP_SCHEDULE" * Fatal * ProcessScheduleInput: Preceding Errors cause termination.

I’ve checked that:

Each schedule has exactly 288 entries (one per 5-minute step)

No missing values in the schedule

The formatting seems correct (e.g., “Until: 23:55, 24.0;” as the last line)

Any idea why EnergyPlus thinks the day is incomplete? Has anyone seen this when injecting schedules via script?

Thanks!

@leilapsd can you upload your model to Google Drive, Dropbox, etc. and then share a URL for others to download? That would help others provide better solutions.
