Lighting Schedules for EnergyPlus

Hi everyone,

I am trying to run a daylighting simulation in order to create lighting schedules for a multi-zone energy simulation.

When I create a simple box geometry and use Honeybee's 'SplitBuildingMass' component and run the daylight simulation, it seems to work fine. I get 15 different lighting schedule files for the 15 zones that is in the building geometry.

However, when I try to run the same simulation for a custom geometry that I created in Rhino, it does not work and the output is empty.

Does anyone have any idea what I might be doing wrong? The zones/elements from my custom geometry seem to be recognized fine by the system. I just don't get any results.

I have attached the gh file with the geometries internalized in case anyone wants to take a look.

Appreciate it!

Thanks,

s

Hi Chris, Mostapha and everybody.

I'm having the same problem as Saurabh. Despite I followed all the steps that you suggest, I still can't run the simulation.

In particular now that I have replace the 'OpenStudioMasterTemplate.idf' in my ladybug default folder, this error occur:

'1. Solution exception:OSLibPath'

I tried also to compare my file with your gh working file, but also this one report an error:

'1. Solution exception:unsupported operand type(s) for +: 'NoneType' and 'str' '

How would you think I could manage the problem in my file?

I'm sorry if my question might be trivial for you but I'm still a beginner in the use of the software.

I attached the gh file below.

Thank you very much for your help and your work.

Carlie
