| 2015-04-16 17:52:45 -0500 | commented question | Zone handle instead of name (E+ file & Output not OS) I altered the space type names to be slightly different than the zone names and that seems to have fixed everything. So, it looks like if a zone is sitting in a space type with exactly the same name, there is an issue and the handle is used sometimes instead of the zone name (I think?). |
| 2015-04-16 13:42:24 -0500 | commented question | Zone handle instead of name (E+ file & Output not OS) I just noticed that in the Zone List object, it looks like I have 40 lists, one for each zone. It looks like if the list name is equal to the zone name then one of them uses the handle. It seems kind of random whether the list name is a long handle or the zone name. Only when the list name is not equal to the zone name (it happened a few times as a typo) then there are real words in both the list name and zone name. I'm not sure how the lists were generated in OS, I believe this happened after I set up many of the space types. |
| 2015-04-16 13:35:08 -0500 | commented question | Zone handle instead of name (E+ file & Output not OS) It's happening to the Thermal Zone names in the idf. I believe this is probably the same source for it happening in the output table and sql file. The original OS zone names aren't using any special characters. Usually just two words with a space. And again, some of them are just fine and others are not. A strange thing is that if you select the handle (long characters) in the idf file and search for the same string in the osm file (in text editor) it can't be found. |
| 2015-04-16 11:58:34 -0500 | asked a question | Zone handle instead of name (E+ file & Output not OS) I have a model with 40 or so zones and it has evolved over the past weeks. During one evolution, the outputs in the E+ table, the zone names in the idf file, and outputs in the SQL file are labeled by Zone handle (e.g. the long random characters) instead of zone name. This is happening to only about 1/2 of them. In the OS input environment the zone names are always displayed - not the handles. Has anyone seen this? |

| 2015-04-14 19:15:51 -0500 | asked a question | 'Edit' for plant/air loops now gone I'd like to change the name of plant / air loops. I believe I have done this in the past as seen in the guide below. Using OS 1.7, it seems that the 'edit' tab is always blank. I have tried with two different models, however I may be doing something wrong though. http://nrel.github.io/OpenStudio-user-documentation/img/pdfs/openstudio_interface_quickstart.pdf |
