2014-12-12 03:51:36 -0500 asked a question Errors when changing location

I'm Trying to check the behavior of my building at a location located in Spain. I have located the file wheter the city I want to calculate located in Spain and when I want to simulate Openstudio gives me error

Someone could help me ? thank you very much

Sorry for answering so late. Thanks for the replies . The problem was that a surface was defined in a thermal area and the other not .

Thank you very much

2014-12-05 04:17:48 -0500 asked a question Outside Boundary Condition="Surface" must be non-blank.

I have a problem when I simulate the Openstudio 1.4. I wanted to define each wall with materials that I have chosen and I get errors on some walls . I have checked these errors and have well-defined walls and I have used tools surface matching. I write an error type:

Severe * BuildingSurface:Detailed="SURFACE 480", invalid Outside Boundary Condition Object=<blank>. * ~~~ * ..Outside Boundary Condition="Surface" must be non-blank. * ~~~ * ..This surface will become an adiabatic surface - no doors/windows allowed. * Severe * BuildingSurface:Detailed="SURFACE 157", invalid Outside Boundary Condition Object=<blank>. * ~~~ ** ..Outside Boundary Condition="Surface" must be non-blank.

So I can not find where I can have the problem Thank you very much

I have a problem using Sketchup Brand building and OpenStudio 1.4.0 is simulated. I have simulated with E + and gives me a series of errors .

Program Version,EnergyPlus-Windows-64 8.1.0.009, YMD=2014.12.02 10:42,IDD_Version 8.1.0.009
   ** Severe  ** IP: IDF line~16836 Object=CONTROLLER:MECHANICALVENTILATION, name=CONTROLLER MECHANICAL VENTILATION 1, Required Field=[Zone 1 Name] was blank.
   ** Warning ** IP: Note -- Some missing fields have been filled with defaults. See the audit output file for details.

I do not know where it comes from . I would appreciate help me Thank you very much
