Issue in Parametric Analysis Tool: "initial capital costs associated with the improvements are $0".
I have an OpenStudio model that successfully ran in OpenStudio and then I tried to apply an ECM to my model in the Parametric Analysis Tool. When using the PAT I first downloaded and added the OpenStudioResults as an OpenStudio Measure. I then downloaded the "Reduce Lighting by Percent" measure and added it to the OpenStudio Measures.
I put the following setting for the Lighting Measure:
.
After running the measure with my baseline model and making sure the OpenStudioResults measure is being used as well, the run fails. There are 0 warnings and 0 errors. The only thing I see when I expand the window is the model's "Initial Condition" and the model's "final condition" and this statement: "initial capital costs associated with the improvements are $0".
Does anyone know what this means or why this is making my run fail? This is the link to the file that I am running: here
I have a project due in two days and I really need to figure this issue out.
The default cost argument values for the reduce lighting by percentage measure are setup not to add any cost. This is reflected in your screenshot. I don't think the cost is related to the cost, but it is odd that your baseline model runs, and the one with the measure applied does not.
Can you look at the eplusout.err file and provide some details on severe and fatal errors? Also are there any warning measures along with the initial and final condition for the measure.
Hi David,
Thank you for your assistance. My eplusout.err file has 95 warnings but 0 severe errors and 0 fatal errors. I tried taking a screenshot of the err file but I was not able to upload them here. This is a like to the screenshots: https://drive.google.com/drive/folder...
There were no warning measures along with the initial and final conditions. It just states the number of watts used in the initial conditions and then the reduced number of watts used in the final conditions.
