Create Baseline Building measure error OpenStudio 2.8

Hello everyone,

I am modeling a 7 story office building for LEED v3 compliance. I am trying to use the "Create Baseline Building" measure but every time I get the following error:

"ERROR The run failed with the following severe or fatal errors: GetInternalHeatGains: Lights="OFFICE:CLOSEDOFFICE:DIRECTOR0050_LIGHTSOBJECT", Sum of Fractions > 1.0\nGetInternalHeatGains: Lights="OFFICE:ELEC/MECHROOM:MECANICNT5-7_LIGHTSOBJECT", Sum of Fractions > 1.0\nGetInternalHeatGains: Lights="OFFICE:IT_ROOM:IT1_0_LIGHTSOBJECT", Sum of Fractions > 1.0\nGetInternalHeatGains: Lights="OFFICE:OPENOFFICE:WORKSTATIONS0012_LIGHTSOBJECT", Sum of Fractions > 1.0\nGetInternalHeatGains: Lights="OFFICE:PRINTROOM:COPY0041_LIGHTSOBJECT", Sum of Fractions > 1.0\nGetInternalHeatGains: Lights="OFFICE:RESTROOM:RESTROOM1_0_LIGHTSOBJECT", Sum of Fractions > 1.0\nGetInternalHeatGains: Lights="OFFICE:STAIR:STAIRS1_LIGHTSOBJECT", Sum of Fractions > 1.0\nGetInternalHeatGains: Lights="QUICKSERVICERESTAURANT:KITCHEN:PANTRY0037_0_LIGHTSOBJECT", Sum of Fractions > 1.0\nGetInternalHeatGains: Errors with invalid names in ElectricEquipment objects. ...These will not be read in. Other errors may occur.\nGetInternalHeatGains: Errors found in Getting Internal Gains Input, Program Stopped"

I have tried modifying the values in the lights definitions and replacing them with the "Swap Lights Definition" measure without success.

Does anyone have any idea on how I should resolve this problem?

Thanks in advance Best Arturo Reyes
