G'Day,

Does anyone know of any workarounds ... or better still BUGFIXES ... for
the persistent CRule Eval error.

I'm trying to run a Title 24 compliance and I just cannot seem to get past
this message

Error Calculate Supply Fan Power: CRule::Eval() error posting numberic
result (-3.10014e-007) to BDL

I get one error for all but one of my fans ... no, I can't find out which
one becaue the "Navigate to seleted error" button is greyed out!

Help, Please!

I need a fix :(

thanks
heaps

Hi,

You can overcome this bug but it probably makes the model unrealistic. Basically if you have no plenums then you have no problems. If you have plenums then you have to supply a huge amount of air. In my 9,000 sq ft building I had to have a total of 23,000 cfm of supply air (5% outside air). Without this the model will not run.

Now my Title-24 compliance looks bad - I think this is a result of the extra air.

Not happy
