Hi, I need to have different cooling setpoint schedules for different zones. However I am facing some troubles doing that:

1. As I cannot copy the existing cooling point schedules and edit them later I am creating new schedules. These new schedules are throwing errors as I cannot set control type values. I am getting error of "invalid controller". How to go about it.
2. In the tab thermal zones, I am trying to change the schedules for the selected thermal zones. But when I drag and drop a different schedule, the schedules of all the other zones changes automatically. Please guide me on how to set different schedules for different thermal zones.

Hi,

I am using OS 1.5 with E+ 8.1.0009. While running my model I am getting error of "possible incorrect IDD file". Is it any compatibility issue? I am also attaching the eplus error.

Hi David,

It the model is behaving weirdly. Now after creating windows, saving the file and opening it again, the walls where the windows are suddenly not at their place and have been projected somewhere outside the building! I did not encounter such problems earlier when I was working on OS 1.4 (now I have recent one, 1.5) and in sketchup 2013 (now using 2014 version). I have 64 bit windows. 64 bit version of sketchup 2014 is not available, hence I have installed 32 bit skechup on 64 bit windows. Can it be this compatibility issue?

4) While creating windows using WWR method such errors were never seen, is it some problem while creating individual windows? and how to go about it as having uniform window length using WWR method would not give right representation of building, as different rooms have different windows sizes & over hangs depending upon their orientation.

3) As it is quite big building, after adding certain number of windows an error occurs after which the OS plugin disappears and building appears in wireframe. after this now windows can be added and no editing of model is effective any more. I am attaching the error as pictures. !st pic shows the error other shows the building how it looks after error.

2) I am creating a rectangle of dimension of window and then pasting it on all the surfaces which have similar window size. when i project these loose geometry then not all windows are created. I observed that all the surfaces where the length, breath format of mentioning dimension gets reversed the windows are not project. Why is this happening??

I am trying to create windows on a 5 storey building. I am not using the WWR tool but manually inserting windows by creating rectangle of same dimension and then using "project loose geometry" tool. however over some surfaces I am facing problems that the windows are not being created. Apart from this I have certain observations as follows:

1) Over some surface I have to mention Length first followed by height, for eg 4,5 where 4 is length and5 is height, and on some surfaces it should be vice versa.

I am getting recurring error when i am addings widows to my building in sketchup. The error appears to be in openstudio plugin. I have made the model couple of times from scratch but this errors seems to happen each time when i start adding windows. After the error the open studio toolbar disappears and building shows up as wireframe structure. After this it is impossible to add anything to model. Please suggest how avoid this error.

Plus I have observed that many times while using project loose geometry command the windows are not created I have to do it 2-3 times to create window. Why is this happening?
