Hi Eric. No, the model did not have WindowMaterial:SimpleGlazingSystem in it. I changed the window to this, and it solved the problem - at least got further in the simulation process. Unfortunately, I now got 12 new errors:

• Process exited with a non-zero exit code of: 1
• Error report file indicates that the process did not complete successfully
• IP: IDF line~10241 Error detected in Object=DAYLIGHTING:CONTROLS, name=THERMAL ZONE 1 Field [Zone Name] is required but was blank
