Normalization of OS results fails when using HVAC other than ideal loads

Hi Ladybug devs!

I’ve been playing around with Ladybug V1.1 and I’ve noticed that when I run a simulation using either heating/cooling HVAC or air HVAC the results from the SQL output file generated by OS3.0.1 cannot be normalized using the ‘HB Normalize by Floor Area’ component. It can be done manually though as I do get results. This problem dissapears when using ideal air loads.

Another thing I noticed is that I have to set ‘hvac_energy_use’ of the ‘simOutputs’ component to True in order to get any results at all. As above the problem goes away when using ideal air. I’m not sure if this is a bug or a feature.

I attach a gh def that replicates the above issues

All the best,
