Integrated Daylight + Energy Simulation

Hi Everybody,

Please keep in mind that I'm fairly new to using Rhino/Grasshopper and especially new to LB+HB. Anyway, I am trying to run an integrated energy + daylight simulation using the provided example file with my DWG file that I've exported from Revit into Rhino, but I'm having a few issues with the geometry.

A few problems that I'm having with this:

1. I can reference the surfaces to breps by selecting objects (walls, roofs, windows, etc.) that are associated with the imported layers no problem, but cannot create zones from breps

2. Getting this error, "Data conversion failed from brep to surface" when flipping the floor.

3. Window geometry is different in Revit than how they are recognized in HB, what is the best way to make the windows workable in HB?

Any suggestions to help me get started with simulation for this building would be greatly appreciated! Links to my dwg file, gh file, and rhino file I'm working with are down below.

Thanks in advance!

Mostapha,

Thanks for your response. I zipped the file and uploaded in dropbox. Here is the link, I appreciate if you look at it.

Please let me know if you did not access the file.

Thanks

Ladan. I just ran the idf file that you provided with EnergyPlus through command line (not from inside Honeybee) and it won't run successfully. Can you run it successfully using EnergyPlus?

Thanks for the follow up. Yes, the file is in E+ V-8.3. I opened E+ and used Transition Version and ran the simulation successfully.

Let me know if I need to resend the file.

Thanks again for your help.
