Hi everyone. I am new to OpenStudio and my problem is that I keep getting identical electrical lighting consumption for the various window to wall ratios. I should note that all of my zones have thermostats and are served by ideal air load. However, during the simulation through the radiance engine I get this message that the daylight autonomy for my building is zero. All of my daylight control points are assigned to the thermal zones and everything else that I can think of such as lighting and people schedule is already set. what is the problem? I copy the texts I see during the run.
