Dear UnmetHours Users,

I'm using DesignBuilder and the ASHRAE 90.1 energy standard to create a baseline building for the LEED submission report.

The problem I'm facing is that no results are shown in the ASHRAE 90.1 tab.

If anyone knows how to solve this problem, I would be very grateful

Have you followed the designbuilder 90.1 guide?

Not a DesignBuilder user, but I'd look into whether "Baseline" & "Projet" IDF files were actually generated and ran. If not, I'd look up DesignBuilder diagnostics files. If they were generated and ran, I'd look up the eplusout.err files. It may also be useful to indicate for which 90.1 edition.

It's possible that you haven't selected the proper outputs for your simulations. On the simulations dialog, ensure that you have selected graphable outputs.

DesignBuilder outputs

specifically Energy, HVAC etc

I followed the 90.1 guide and the IDF files were actually generated and ran. I didn't find anything in the diagnostics files I think (it's my first model in designbuilder). Regarding the graphable outputs, the energy, hvac, etc were already selected. I don't know how to solve this problem :/

So both "Baseline" and "Projet" IDF/models ran? Any severe errors in either "eplusout.err" files? Do results in both "eplustbl.htm" files make sense to you? If all OK, then at least you'd have narrowed down the issue ...
