I was trying to model a project building’s geometry, but with baseline prescriptive envelope, and running an Envelope Only simulation. The envelope constructions/thermal performance are the same as the baseline’s, so I would expect 0% compliance margin, but I’m getting -2.7%. Should this be happening? Or is there something I’m missing?
We had recently identified a bug in the ruleset that is causing your error based on another user model. We are have fixed this bug and are working with the Energy Commission on a possible service pack release of the software in the coming month or so.
We may have non-certified version with this bug fixed released as soon as next week where you can rerun this and see the results.
We ran it on our development version and got zero compliance. In the meantime, we can run your final model on our development version, and generate a non-watermarked compliance form that you can use if needed.
