Revision history [back]

I am currently attempting to implement an envelope that I created in OpenStudio into EnergyPlus. However, after running the simulation, I encountered two severe errors:

* Severe * <root>[BuildingSurface:Detailed][Face 0] - Missing required property 'construction_name'. * Severe * <root>[FenestrationSurface:Detailed][Face 3] - Missing required property 'construction_name'. * Fatal * Errors occurred on processing input file. Preceding condition(s) cause termination. ...Summary of Errors that led to program termination: ..... Reference severe error count=2 ..... Last severe error=<root>[FenestrationSurface:Detailed][Face 3] - Missing required property 'construction_name'. *** Warning: Node connection errors not checked - most system input has not been read (see previous warning). *** Fatal error -- final processing. Program exited before simulations began. See previous error messages. *** EnergyPlus Warmup Error Summary. During Warmup: 0 Warning; 0 Severe Errors. *** EnergyPlus Sizing Error Summary. During Sizing: 0 Warning; 0 Severe Errors. *** EnergyPlus Terminated--Fatal Error Detected. 0 Warning; 2 Severe Errors; Elapsed Time=00hr 00min 0.19sec

Thus I added "Construction names" for each surface of the building. However after filling in the Construction_names, I encountered 115 severe errors, such as:

* Severe * FenestrationSurface:Detailed="FACE 625", invalid blank Outside Boundary Condition Object * ~~~ * ...when Base surface uses "Surface" as Outside Boundary Condition Object, subsurfaces must also specify specific surfaces in the adjacent zone.

I am unsure about the meaning of the Outside Boundary Condition Object based on the information provided in EnergyPlus. Therefore, I attempted to fill in some of those fields with the same surface used for "Building Surface Name." The result was an additional 171 errors, such as:

* Severe * Duplicate name found for object of type "FenestrationSurface:Detailed" named "Face 491". Overwriting existing object.

I would greatly appreciate some assistance in resolving these issues.
