Hello,
I’m having a similar issue in a really simple shoebox. Trying to set up HB Legacy alongside v1.5 (in Windows 11). The OpenStudio I installed for the Legacy version is 3.0.1 (directly in the C: drive).

The errors I’m getting are the following:

  1. Current document units is in Feet
  2. Conversion to Meters will be applied = 0.305
  3. Current working directory is set to: C:\Users…
  4. Can’t find ddy file next to the EPW.
  5. Extreme values from the weather file design will be used instead.
  6. Honeybee could not find a ddy next to the epw file and could not create sizing criteria from the data in the epw file.
    No sizing calcualtion will be performed for this model.
  7. Model saved to: C:\Users…
  8. OSM > IDF: C:/Users/…
  9. Program Version,EnergyPlus, Version 9.3.0-baff08990c, YMD=2022.12.29 20:31,

The information displayed by the Honeybee object would be the following:

  1. Found installation of openstudio-3.0.1.
  2. Found installation of EnergyPlus>=9-3-0.
  3. Found installation of Radiance.
  4. Found installation of DAYSIM.
  5. Found installation of THERM 7.6.
  7. Loading RAD default materials…9 RAD materials are loaded

  25. Hooohooho…Flying!!
    Vviiiiiiizzz…

Any help would be really appreciated!

An update on this issue. The workaround was to downgrade OpenStudio to version 2.9.1…however I then stumbled upon this issue:

Honeybee openstudio 2.8 - #19 by josh.greenfield

…the solution (as mentioned in that thread) was to uninstall ironbug ironbug , then honeybee-legacy /OpenStudio (and Ladybug Tools 1.5) worked fine.
