Hello,

It seems everytime i run my compliance test it gets to 'adding objects......' and then terminates unexpectedly. I have recently ran a solar analysis and suncast and then followed by changing the external galzing construction...is this what is casuing the problem?

Daryl

fixed arlier problem but now it terminates after ive applied some building systems...this is the log file



does any one have an idea as to why this isnt working? (Admin) please help as running the BRUKL test twice more is the last bit of my coursework i need to do!

Thanks Daryl

Looking at the error file it simply says:


* [ 145] *** ERROR 1 *** : (Keyword out of range): COOL-SSEER = 0.064






*** ERRORS *** Number of errors: 1
*** WARNINGS *** Number of warnings: 340
*** CWARNINGS *** Number of cwarnings: 0
END

...but it doesnt tell me what the problem is!!!!!!!!

soooo 'COOL-SSEER' means cooling system seasonal energy efficient ratio but how on earth do i fix this?

Regards

you need to edit your system. Open apache systems >> NCM System Wizard and edit cooling system generator seasonal EER.

Be aware I have seen occasions where the system you have specified in the Wizard is heating only but an invalid COOL efficiency is written out to the SBEM inp file and this can result in calc time errors, you can easily fix this by changing to a Heating and Cooling system, make edits on the Cooling System tab then switch back to the Heating system you require.

Hope this helps, it should be a quick fix for you to avoid this error and continue with your SBEM calcs.

Dear God man... you are using SBEM? I didn't realise the recession was that bad.
