Revision history [back]

I'm pretty new to OpenStudio and when I'm running the simulation I get this notification:

Program Version,EnergyPlus, Version 24.2.0-94a887817b, YMD=2025.07.22 12:53, * Severe * Output:PreprocessorMessage="ExpandObjects" has the following Fatal conditions: * ~~~ * SEVERE: Too many fields were found for the object: Chiller:Electric:EIR * ~~~ * * ~~~ * Number expected=[30] * ~~~ * Number found=[40] * Fatal * Preprocessor condition(s) cause termination.

I saw some similar problems in other posts but they all said fixed and I could never find how to fix it myself. Any idea how to fix it?

Another issue I'm having is:

* Severe * GetHTSubSurfaceData: Surface Openings have too much area for base surface=FACE 4540 * ~~~ * Opening Surface creating error=FACE 4544

To my best understanding, this is occurring since open studio is choosing the wrong wall for the fenestration. In this case, the floor is comprised of short height attic space adjacent to a wall that has windows above the attic but OpenStudio is assigning the windows to the attic space. Not sure how to fix this either.

Any help would be welcome!
