Interzone Surface Areas mismatch problem

Hi guys, I’m using honeybee to perform an energy simulation. But I’ve got problem with ‘interzone surface areas-mismatch’. I’ve tried several times to redraw it and simplify my model but the problem keep showing. I have no idea either about which exact surface cause this problem or how to solve this. Can anyone kindly let me know how to find the problem surfaces?

Hi @Darvey,

You have to use the intersect mass component befor creating zones.

A more simple approuch you can find in the example below.

hi pan
i think move epw and stat files to drive c
and reinstall honeybee and ladybug plugins

Hi, @Erikbeeren Thanks for your suggestion. I’ve tried the method and the problem solved. Thanks again.

Hi @hakan
Sorry for late reply, I’ve tried @Erikbeeren 's method and the problem solved. Thanks for your suggestion as well. All the best.

@Erikbeeren the interesting thing is when I tried the method on another model, the error of surface area mismatch pop up again. I’ve attached this model could you kindly have a look please?

Hi, @Darvey,

The grasshopper script is ok. It is more your geometrie wich is inaccurate.
See image below.

I usualy make blocks of every floor and import them with the Human plug in. In that way I have a better controle over the geometry.
In the example below you will find a simple model.basic template.3dm (47.7 KB) basic template.gh (576.8 KB)

Hi, @Erikbeeren
I’ve tried to delete the problem geometries and it works indeed. Thanks a lot for helping. The example files you uploaded are very help as well. Many thanks for sharing.
