Hi there,

I am currently using the OS Version 3.7.0. I would like to use the 'Zone Exterior Windows Total Transmitted Beam Solar Radiation Rate' as an EMS Sensor. The exact same sensor worked with OS Version 3.4.0 a while ago. Julien already mentioned it could be an issue with the newish space topology in E+ but I already tried to use the space name as KeyName without success. To check if the zone name leads to the problem I tried using the same key name for another zone report variabel 'Zone Mean Radiant Temperature' which worked without any problems. Do you have an idea before I try to loop through all windows and setting an EMS sensor for each window?

Error statement: ** Severe ** Invalid Output:Variable or Output:Meter Index Key Name =ZONE - 12 - Office ** ~~~ ** For Output:Variable or Output:Meter = ZONE EXTERIOR WINDOWS TOTAL TRANSMITTED DIFFUSE SOLAR RADIATION RATE ** ~~~ ** Entered in EnergyManagementSystem:Sensor=EMS_ZONE_12_Office_SENSOR ** ~~~ ** Unique Key Name not found. ** Fatal ** Errors found in processing Energy Management System input. Preceding condition causes termination.
