I make my models in openstudio/sketchup and then convert them to idf, After that simulate by EnergyPlus. As I want to export my model -into idf- this warning occurs on translation to EnergyPlus, however it doesn't have any severe erroes in EnergyPlus simulation and everything apparently works well. What is this warning about?

@MatthewSteen Thank you so much.

Recently I have carried out a research by which I investigate the effectiveness of different infiltration rates on building's efficiency. now I want validate my researchs input data through numerical calculations and experimental work. So I need EnergyPlus calculation formulas to compare.

different rendering settings in OS don't relate to thermal features of zone's surfaces. These are just about visualisation.

I want to compare thermal features of two bricks with diverse colors. How it is possible to identify colors by Energyplus? Is the color of materials take affect conductivity in default material sets in Energyplus ?

2016-04-08 08:35:31 -0500 asked a question Can't see drawing file in view results tab in EP-Launch

I created my model in openstudio (sketch up) and after exporting to idf file and load in EP-Launch, I can't see the resulting drawing file from the menu in EP-Launch. It showed an error while I click on drawing file tab, thus it does not have any severe errors or warnings when simulating the file.
