Systems Analysis - construction_name property

smarente1 — Mon, 03 May 2021 20:48:14 GMT

I am trying to use Revit 2022 to run space loads. This model was upgraded from 2021 and the previous load calculation using the older method 'Heating and Coolings Loads' ran without a problem.

The eplusout.err is attached and shows it fails from:

** Severe ** <root>[BuildingSurface:Detailed][E-101-E-W-30] - Missing required property 'construction_name'.
** Severe ** <root>[FenestrationSurface:Detailed][E-112-E-W-101-D-1] - Missing required property 'construction_name'.
** Fatal ** Errors occurred on processing input file. Preceding condition(s) cause termination.

Searching these elements in the gbXML show them as a basic wall and a door. Switching them to other elements produces the same error.

Does anyone have experience fixing this? What is the 'construction_name' property and is there a way to override it/ set it in the model before running the loads through the API?
