EPW File Problem

Hi All!

I am Atta, from Indonesia. I have been following video tutes by Chris Mackey on energy Simulation, it is really helpful videos for a beginner. When I constructed my own energy model (a very simple one), following instruction from Chris's Videos, it seems no problem. However, when I used Bandung weather file (.epw) for simulation, it did not run successfully. The unusual thing is that when I changed to default weather file (.epw) coming with Energyplus installation it was running successfully. How can I resolve this problem? Can anyone help me please?

Notes:

I can send my grasshopper algo and Bandung EPW file if necessary.

Atta

Hi Atta, Share the weather file so someone can take a look. There is no other way to know what's going wrong with your file.

Hi Atta,

Your weather file didn't have data for ground temperature which was causing the problem. I modified the function to handle cases with no data. If you update Ladybug + Honeybee you should be able to run the analysis with your weather file.
