I am a user with very little experience of simulation software trying to predict the thermal behaviour of a large office building with the aid of the Energy Plus plugin for Open Studio (1.5.0 version). I am doing this as a part of my master degree. Firstly, I have tried to build a basic model and the simulation runs without any errors. At the present moment, I have tried to run the simulator for the large building but thats not possible as it interrupts every single time with the following message:

Can anyone please help me with that? I really can't tell what the problem might be. Can anyone please explain the error and what might causes it?

Thank you, Despina

Hello,

I am using open studio 1.5 to model a multi-storey building which has split units in its rooms. I couldn't find a suitable HVAC system that matches split units. Can anyone help with that? Is it OK to insert a VRF system instead?

Thank you, Deapina.
