Hello, I am trying to integrate CIBSE TM52 adaptive criteria.
My idf files are generated through a combination of jeplus parameters and epmacro scripts that collect input from separated idf files. As I cannot copy the whole idf files in a post, I have tried to extract the objects that are relevant for the CIBSE TM52 assessment (done via an EMS program). The schedules referenced by B1_People are all existing (although not copied here).

I am struggling to understand why each of those 3 severe errors occur. Thanks, Andrea
