Version 3.64 LEED Compliance

Last post

I was excited to tryout the new version 3.64, but whenever I try the LEED
compliance analysis I get an error message telling me "Assign zone to
baseline floor system CRule:() error posting symbolic (value 5.18473e-296)
result to BDL." This happens whether I load an existing model or create a
new one. Any thoughts?

This occurs on any model I try

Scott,
Are the new features for v3.64 documented somewhere? The 'Volume 6 New Features' document on the DOE2.2 download appears to be the same document (with a new date) as the 'Volume 6 New Features' document for v3.63b. Are the Title24 and LEED compliance tools the only changes?
Thanks,

Kudos Scott & eQuest team, haven't tried it yet, but that's a great achievement!

I installed eQ v 3.64, and tried to use the compliance analysis on a new
(wizard generated) v 3.64 file. I was able to create the compliance
analysis object in the detailed edit mode, but when I open it to try and
edit it, it closes immediately. There are no other obvious issues with the
file. Any ideas?

Thanks,

I get the same error ?Assign zone to baseline floor system CRule:() error
posting symbolic (value 5.18473e-296) result to BDL.? It appeared to me
that the error was only referencing half of my building zones. So I removed
the plenums for the building, they error went away and the analysis was
complete. So, it seems that the compliance analysis has trouble assigning a
plenum zone to a system. Has anybody else found a different way around this
or can anybody else shine some light on this?

I also noticed that it was the plenums that were causing the error after
fiddling with a few files. Any thoughts on how to get the plenums assigned
to proper zones to make the errors go away?

Oops,

I just read these posts. If the plenum space is having difficulty what are
you assigning the space as? Unconditioned? My next question would be do you
think that the plenum zone works only if you schedule the zone as a plenum
return and not a duct return?

Thanks,
