I received the error as such when running energy simulation. My model is very simple, just a box with four windows.
The error is this:
Current document units is in Meters
Conversion to Meters will be applied = 1.000
Current working directory is set to: c:\ladybug\CalculateUtility2\OpenStudio
Can’t find ddy file next to the EPW.
Extreme values from the weather file design will be used instead.

I used EpConstruction from honeybee library but this error still pop up. Not sure what could be the source of the problem
I have updated all openstudio, energy plus and honeybee.190509_BugReport.3dm (101.3 KB)
