Revision history [back]

Hi,I'm using the Open Studio Sketch Up Plug In (v. 1.5, Energy Plus v. 8.1) and I'm studying the thermal behaviour of an apartment with a lean-to type greenhouse. I need to create interzones interior windows between the greenhouse and another zone. So I draw a sub surface (selecting in intended surface type: "Interior Window"-see attached) on both the interior walls of the interested spaces and than assign the right boundary conditions to both.
Running a simulation I get this error:

"adiabatic surfaces cannot have windows or doors. * ~~~ * ... no solar transmission will result for these windows or doors. You must have interior windows or doors on Interzone surfaces for transmission to result."

..but i've create interior windows. Am I missing some steps? I can't understand where I'm wrong. Thank you for the suggestion. Marika
