Problem happens in honeybee_run energyplus simulation after updating

grasshopper honeybee-legacy
1

Hey everybody, it is a really urgent problem. I just used the honeybee_run energyplus simulation tonight and I was told to update the component. However, after i updated honeybee, new problems happened as follows:

  1. This component does not support shading control in versions of E+ greater than 9.0.0.
    Use and older version of EnergyPlus or use the OpenStudio component.
  2. The simulation has not run correctly because of this severe error:
    ** Severe ** Problem in interior solar distribution calculation (CHKBKS)

As I can’t upload the gh file, I attached the screen shot here.

This can be avoided by doing the following.

Thank you for your reply. It works for the second problem. However, the " 1. This component does not support shading control in versions of E+ greater than 9.0.0.
Use and older version of EnergyPlus or use the OpenStudio component." stills exists. Could you please help me with that?

Why can’t you do either of them?

Thank you for your reply. I met some problems during removing the current version. I am not sure whether I should remove any files in honeybee. Could you please kindly tell me which files should be remove first before I installed the old version under 9.0?

No need to remove any honeybee files. Only remove and install openstudio
