Issue in Parametric Analysis Tool: "initial capital costs associated with the improvements are $0".

Hello All,

I have an OpenStudio model that successfully ran in OpenStudio and then I tried to apply an ECM to my model in the Parametric Analysis Tool. When using the PAT I first downloaded and added the OpenStudioResults as an OpenStudio Measure. I then downloaded the "Reduce Lighting by Percent" measure and added it to the OpenStudio Measures.

I put the following setting for the Lighting Measure:C:\fakepath\Screen Shot 2018-05-22 at 11.48.09 PM.png.

After running the measure with my baseline model and making sure the OpenStudioResults measure is being used as well, the run fails. There are 0 warnings and 0 errors. The only thing I see when I expand the window is the model's "Initial Condition" and the model's "final condition" and this statement: "initial capital costs associated with the improvements are $0".

Does anyone know what this means or why this is making my run fail? This is the link to the file that I am running: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1U9cmUjYDlapGsQEBfQlsJc3rcE5iI6K6

I have a project due in two days and I really need to figure this issue out. Thank you!
