Hello Ammar. The OpenStudio measure, Create DOE Prototype Building, does not include climate zone 0 so far, but we have already added climate zone 0A and 0B in the openstudio standards. The easy way for you is to find this measure (create_DOE_prototype_building/measure.rb) and use the text editor to open it. Then, you need to add climate_zone_chs << 'ASHRAE 169-2013-0B' between lines 104 and 105. Then, it should work.

In addition, I posted this issue here.
