@Eric Ringold: Thanks for your response. I didn't have any blank fields in the window layers, but I had them stacked. On

The simulation was not failing until the update. After the update, the simulation fails without any severe errors in the log file. I have renamed all the thermal zones based on space names as per the other similar post here to prevent non-alphanumeric characters causing an issue, but still no luck. Only thing that seemed to have helped is system RESTART. Is there any other solution to this? The files are hosted here if you would need it: https://ufile.io/o0ya1. Also, I used this file as a seed model in PAT, I'm not sure if that had anything to do with these issues. I'm lost trying to figure out the issue for the past two days. Please let me know if you need further information to help.

Hi all, I am modeling a 5 story medium sized office in Tampa. HVAC system is a multi-zone single duct constant volume with no zonal reheat. The humidity and the temperature are controlled by the cooling and heating coils itself. I designed the HVAC system as district cooling and heating and have the humidity controls and setpoints (and managers) in the system as described here and set the sensor and actuator nodes as described in this link. The temperature controls are working perfectly with cooling and heating unmet hours within the recommended standards, but even with humidity controls, zone humidity values are all over the range. I'm not sure what is wrong, could someone point me in the right direction? I have attached the openstudio model files in this link.

@Avi Thanks for the response. I think that pointed me in the right direction to figure out the issue. I will let you kno
