Hi, I got the following error message when importing and IDF file, which runs correctly in EnergyPlus, in OpenStudio 1.5 for Sketchup 2014. May I have your advices on why there's such errors? Thanks!

Error: File at XXX.idf is not valid to draft strictness. The collection is INVALID at strickness level "Draft", because of the errors: Field level data error of type DataType. Error is in an object of type "Schedule:Week:Compact", named "Sch_week_AC", in field 7. Additional information about the error type: field-level data is of an incorrect type.

I'm using OpenStudio 1.5 with EnergyPlus 8.1 after checking this post: https://unmethours.com/question/814/o...

Thanks, Matthew! I need to learn a bit more on MarkDown ...

@oat, can you edit your question to include the 'Schedule:Week:Compact' named 'SchweekAC' from your IDF?

Would you mind making the title more explicit please? Maybe something like "Schedule:Week:Compact error when importing IDF into Openstudio"?

There is an issue filed related to importing Schedule:Week:Compact objects into OpenStudio from an IDF file. If you remove those objects from a copy of your IDF file, then you should be able to import the rest of it.

David, I am having the same problem with the idf file that I converted from v5 to v8.2. It goes away if I change the compact schedule type to daily. Since I have numerous prototype files for residential (and may be commercial) that need the conversion and then used in OS, is there a easy way to fix this problem, or do I have to write my own script for this? Thanks, -Rohini

I know this is quite old, but when you say "remove" the objects, we basically have to set a new schedule item, right? I noticed in the Repo that they marked this item as closed without resolution...I assume because residential prototypes are now HPXML?

If David's solution doesn't solve your problem, you may also want to consider renaming that object to remove the underscores from the name. I've experienced the same error as a result of a unacceptably-named object.
