Remove (delete) unassigned (unwanted) Generic load in idf file

Hello everybody,
I wrote an additional string to define “Design Flow Rate (m3/s)” for simulation as you can see below image:


however, after careful investigation in the idf file, I understand that there is some unwanted load inside my energy model that I didn’t define which name is “Generic”:

I also noticed there were some other unassigned loads for “lights”, “people”, “Electric Equipment” that I didn’t assign.
How can I remove them?

Does anyone know how to remove predefined (Generic) materials, loads, schedules and … created by Honeybee within the IDF file?

Hi @hamed.sangin ,

HB Rooms are assigned a “Generic Office Program” by default, which helps new users get results the first time they run the simulation. If you don’t want this program to be assigned and instead want a model with no loads or schedules, just plug Plenum into the _program_ when you create the Rooms like so:

Thanks a lot, Chris, I appreciate your reply. It was really helpful for my simulation process.
