HB Peak Loads Component Not Working

Hello,

I am trying to generate the results for peak cooling loads through the HB Peak Loads Component to compare with those generated through HB Read HVAC Sizing. I receive error information that makes no sense to me. I checked the inputs, and everything is correct, hence I am looking for suggestions on the forum. I really appreciate any help you can provide. :slight_smile:

Hi @ksawerym ,

Seems to work ok for me? Maybe try checking ‘is conditioned’ using the Room Attributes:

Hello @edpmay,
thank you for your reply!
The room attribute indicates that everything is alright. Can this be a sort of bug triggered by the room setting itself? Have you had such an error before?

Hi @ksawerym,

The usual trouble-shooting process involves removing one component (or one ‘chunk’) at a time in order to determine where the weirdness occurs. So depending on how you definition is setup, I’d say to just start trying to cut out items one at a time, and continue to run the simulation each step to see when it starts to work properly again. Once you have identified where the issue is coming from, then you can start to figure out how to address it.

best,
@edpmay

Hi, @edpmay,

The HB Peak Loads Component does not like the space program to be “Plenum” or empty, which was the case for my study. Other way around it is needed
Thank you for your help
