Not another Radiance error

Hi, I'm loosing hope. I need to perform a daylighting analysis for a BREEAM certification (an illuminance assessment on the working plane), and I've never done one before. I've used E+ for energy simulation for some years now, and decided to transition to OpenStudio specifically for the Radiance Measure. I'm using OpenStudio (OSM) Application 1.1.0 and SketchUp Pro 2020 with the OSM plug-in. Since encountering errors running OSM, I've installed the latest Strawberry Perl (Windows PC here), erased the Radiance (5.0.a.12.) software folder inside the OSM App and replaced it with the latest available in Github (still a pre-release), and created my own custom Radiance Measure with the latest files from Github (to use instead of the old BCL one). I have a 10 stories building, and I've created an Illuminance Map for only one Thermal Zone (TZ) in one of them as a starter; the TZ is approximately H-shaped. I've found here that E+ can only deal with rectangular Illuminance Maps, and Radiance can only deal with 1 Illum Map per TZ - so, I'll probably have to run multiple sims with tweeks on the SketchUp's Illum Maps... I had assigned the TZs to the Spaces (1 per 1) previously, and when creating the Illum Map it automatically got assigned to the correct TZ. I don't have any Shading System/Control. I don't need a Daylighting Control Point, but I've tried with one to see if it was mandatory - the errors persisted. I've offsetted the Map from the walls - the errors persisted. On the OSM App: - I didn't request any Output Variables (but I've tried requesting the Point Illuminance just for kicks, still didn't run); - on Simulation Settings, I've defined the Radiance Parameters as Fine, on Simulation Control I've defined the Solar Distribution as "Full interior and exterior with reflections";

  • on Measures: I've defined my customized Radiance Measure with only the Debug Mode ON, and depending on the Radiance (speed) Setting I define here, I get 2 different errors: --> If I define as "Testing" or "High", I get: Applying RadianceMeasure Result: Fail Error: SqlFile C:/Users/UTILIZ~1/AppData/Local/Temp/osmodel-1629300128-2/resources/run/000_updated_radiance_daylighting_measure 1 1 1 1 1/radiance/sql/eplusout.sql connection is not open

    --> If I define as "Model", I get: Applying RadianceMeasure Result: Fail Error: No such file or directory @ rb_sysopen - C:/Users/UTILIZ~1/AppData/Local/Temp/osmodel-1629300128-2/resources/run/000_updated_radiance_daylighting_measure 1 1 1 1 1/radiance/options/treg.opt

I've browsed Unmet Hours, changed settings, at this point the only thing I haven't tried is reinstalling the OSM App.

Also, I just now tried to erase and recreate the Illum Map on SketchUp: the measurements of the new one are negative and/or with a negative exponential (so extreeeeemely small, and it's supposed to be approximately 14*17m).

PLEASE HELP.

Thank you very much.

Not another Radiance error

Hi, I'm loosing hope. I need to perform a daylighting analysis for a BREEAM certification (an illuminance assessment on the working plane), and I've never done one before. I've used E+ for energy simulation for some years now, and decided to transition to OpenStudio specifically for the Radiance Measure. I'm using OpenStudio (OSM) Application 1.1.0 and SketchUp Pro 2020 with the OSM plug-in. Since encountering errors running OSM, I've installed the latest Strawberry Perl (Windows PC here), erased the Radiance (5.0.a.12.) software folder inside the OSM App and replaced it with the latest available in Github (still a pre-release), and created my own custom Radiance Measure with the latest files from Github (to use instead of the old BCL one).

I have a 10 stories building (pic below), and I've created an Illuminance Map for only one Thermal Zone (TZ) in one of them as a starter; the TZ is approximately H-shaped. I've found here that E+/OSM can only deal with rectangular Illuminance Maps, and Radiance can only deal with 1 Illum Map per TZ - so, I'll probably have to run multiple sims with tweeks on the SketchUp's Illum Maps... I had assigned the TZs to the Spaces (1 per 1) previously, and when creating the Illum Map it automatically got assigned to the correct TZ. I don't have any Shading System/Control. I don't need a Daylighting Control Point, but I've tried with one to see if it was mandatory - the errors persisted. I've offsetted the Map from the walls - the errors persisted.

On the OSM App:

  • I didn't request any Output Variables (but I've tried requesting the Point Illuminance just for kicks, still didn't run);
  • on Simulation Settings, I've defined the Radiance Parameters as Fine, on Simulation Control I've defined the Solar Distribution as "Full interior and exterior with reflections";

  • on Measures: I've defined my customized Radiance Measure with only the Debug Mode ON, and depending on the Radiance (speed) Setting I define here, I get 2 different errors:

    --> If I define as "Testing" or "High", I get:

Applying RadianceMeasure

Result: Fail

I've browsed Unmet Hours, changed settings, at this point the only thing I haven't tried is reinstalling the OSM App. ALSO, I just now tried to erase and recreate the Illum Map on SketchUp: the measurements of the new one are negative and/or with a negative exponential (so extreeeeemely small, and it's supposed to be approximately 14*17m); tried it also on the original geometry-only file: same.

My OSM file is here https://www.dropbox.com/sh/l98c3inhhtof54f/AADPPEzCT8UNNjCDTlJguF6Aa?dl=0 The Illum Map is on the main TZ of the 3rd floor ("Piso1_Escrit") image description

PLEASE HELP.

Thank you very much.
