Hi @chris,
I’ve encountered a bug with the attached HB model:
HB model.hbjson (88.0 KB)
I’ve used HB Apply Window Construction and supplied 4 different window constructions for each cardinal direction: north, east and west without blinds and south with blinds.
When running it through OpenStudio, it returns the following severe errors:

While on my search for the solution I found this Unmet Hours topic that explains the problem. When altering the IDF file in accordance with the Unmet Hours solution, I’ve managed to fix the issue.
in_original.idf (155.8 KB)
in_altered.idf (155.7 KB)
I assume that somewhere in the LB/HB code the assigning of the window construction names is bugged, but I can’t put my finger on where exactly. Perhaps you can figure it out given the attached files?
Kind regards,
Marc
