Problem with set ep airflow component

Hi!

I´ve been trying to run an energy simulation of an office (using natural ventilation) with the “set ep air flow” component, but since i updated my honybee version, the “run energy simulation” component fails to run the IDF. The balloon message says :

  1. The simulation has not run correctly because of this severe error:
    ** Severe ** Out of range value Numeric Field#3 (Effective Angle), value=360.00000, range={>=0.0 and <360.0}, in ZONEVENTILATION:WINDANDSTACKOPENAREA=ZONE_0NATVENT2

How could i solve this problem?

Thank you all for your attention!

This looks like an error on our side. Reading the EnergyPlus error tells me that we need to use 359.9 and not 360 for the input. I added this to github (https://github.com/mostaphaRoudsari/Honeybee/issues/417) and we will get back to you soon. Thank you for reporting.

Vriginia,

This was indeed a bug resulting from a small edit I made after the last stable release. Thank you for reporting it. It is now fixedon the github:

hello everyone
i am working on early stage optimization and start to model a simple room for testing EUI. in this way i used some default setting for construction…
it is so weird that when i add natural ventilation by using (set ep airflow)to my modeling EUI will increases.
here is my setting for this component:
cooling set point:26
heating set point:19
nv type:1
minindoortempfornv:20
maxindoortempfornv:25
minoutdoortempfornv:12
maxoutdoortempfornv:29

How can i solve this problem?

thank you for your attention
