HB Export to Open Studio version: FEB_20_2019 - results changed

Thanks @chris.

You are right, the error is not related to the changes in the component. I have found that the reason was I changed the SolveAdjacencies Boundary Conditions from default “SURFACE” to “AIRWALL”.

Following this I have another question.
I split my model into 2 zones with an air-wall in between, because I intend to have two different lighting schedules that are created based on daylight results. I ran the energy simulation having a) just 1 zone; b) 2 zones separated with air-walls, using a default lighting schedule for medium office in order to compare the results and see if they are equal. It occurs that they are not exactly equal:

… … … … Cooling… Heating… /(kWh/year)
2 zones … 47.5… … 313.7
1 zone… … 41.6… … 241

In addition to higher energy intensity, in the case of a 2-zone model, the storage event in the energy balance chart is rather high, as opposed to almost negligible in the case of just 1 zone.

Energy Chart for 2 zones with an air-wall:

I would prefer to use the 2-zone model, but from the chart it looks like there might something wrong with it.

My question is:
Why is there a difference in energy results between the two modelling methods?

I attached my GH file - clean and tidy this time so I hope it’s easy to navigate :slightly_smiling_face: Sorry about the last file, such a mess I know :woman_facepalming:
