I'm modeling a VAV system with PFBs in OpenStudio 1.11.0 and I keep getting the following error causing the simulation to crash:
* Severe * IP: IDF line~196096 Object=CONTROLLER:MECHANICALVENTILATION, name=CONTROLLER MECHANICAL VENTILATION 1, Required Field=[Zone 1 Name] was blank.
The error is fairly obvious and when looking at the translated IDF, there is no referenced ZoneList or any Zones being referenced, nor are there any Design Specification Outdoor Air Objects. I've defined my loads and outdoor air specification in SpaceTypes. I noticed here link text in the EnergyPlus Forward translation that SpaceTypes aren't translating DesignSpecificationOutdoorAir objects. Has this not been implemented yet, or is the translation happening elsewhere? Is this error coming up for another reason perhaps?
