I was getting weird behaviour from the readEio component if my model included multiple zones. The Cool Design day Load had only one value after the header.

Digging into the component code I found that it wasn’t iterating over all zones, although it did record them in an array. I’ve replaced lines 188, 189:

coolDesLoad.append(createHeader(‘Design Day Cooling Load’, zoneName))  
heatDesLoad.append(createHeader(‘Design Day Heating Load’, zoneName))

with:

for zoneCount, zoneName in enumerate(zoneNames):  
coolDesLoad.append(createHeader(‘Design Day Cooling Load’, zoneName))  
heatDesLoad.append(createHeader(‘Design Day Heating Load’, zoneName))

so I’ve included just the one line, which I guess got lost somewhere along the way because it’s passing zoneName as an argument, and zoneName is declared outside the scope of the first two lines.

Hope this helps someone

Thank you for reporting this issue, @Mauricio , and for providing the fix. I tested your code and it worked well so I implemented it in the code base:
