[FenestrationSurface:Detailed][window1] - Missing required property 'construction_name'

Hello everyone,

I am trying to run an energy simulation using OpenStudio. But I receive the error below:

I do not know what I am doing wrong. If I look at line 20 I have modelled this:


This is the construction that is linked to this:

How can I fix the missing construction_name? I think I have already named it.

Thanks in advance!

Hi @tessar93 ,
First, make sure the created zones are closed brep.

To solve this you can scale down or moving the child surfaces to have a minimum sill Height:

Then, make sure you have defined the appropriate construction for each element.

best,

Thank you! This fixed the problem.
