Issues with Honeybee PMV Thermal Map and Exporting Hourly Data

Hello everyone,

Following thermal simulations with HB Energy, I would like to use the PMV comfort map but I am getting a lot of errors even though my HB model is valid.

I don’t know if anyone has already encountered these errors but I am still a beginner with Honeybee.

  1. Solution exception:
    The recipe failed to run with the following error(s):

I have another question: I’d like to transform the LB hourly data collection of operative temperature from a thermal zone into a temperature curve to show daily variations. I tried exporting to CSV but without success.

Thank you in advance for your help.
