I get the following error after 'Apply Measure Now' to create a baseline.


*** ===== Final Error Summary ===== *** The following error categories occurred. Consider correcting or noting. *** InterZone Surface Areas -- mismatch *** ..Area mismatch errors happen when the interzone surface in zone A is *** ..not the same size as it's companion in zone B. *** Nominally Unused Constructions *** ..The nominally unused constructions warning is provided to alert you to potential conditions that can cause *** ..extra time during simulation. Each construction is calculated by the algorithm indicated in the HeatBalanceAlgorithm *** ..object. You may remove the constructions indicated (when you use the DisplayExtraWarnings option).


I have solved the surface area mismatch error in Rhinoceros 6 and plugged the model to grasshopper, then run the simulation. But still get the same error. May I know why this appears and how to solve this?

Additionally, my aim is to apply ASHRAE 90.1-2007 baseline for my model.

When you say "solved" the mismatch error, did you mean you ran the geometry through and .idf and didn't get any EnergyPlus errors? You may have made a change that did not ultimately get reflected in the EnergyPlus model.
