Room Bounding Element in energy analysis

Anonymous — Wed, 22 Feb 2017 12:03:10 GMT

Whenever I start RUN ENERGY SIMULATION, it gives error that your model cannot be analyzed because there are no room bounding elements. Though I have already specified the rooms and tagged them. The screenshot is attached with the room tags and also for the error.

Can anybody help me with the solution for this error?

What are the phases of the 3D view and the Plan where you see Rooms? Are they the same?

ToanDN that is the problem. Spaces and rooms are visible in plan view, but are not visible in 3D or sections.

I am asking about the phasing, not the visibility.

@ToanDN

Some of the windows were in the new construction phase. I changed all of the elements in new construction, ran the simulation. Same result! 3D and plans of the building, all of them are now in the same phase.

@Anonymous Please note that I did not ask for phasing of geometry such as windows. I rephrase my questions below.

What is the phase of this plan view?
What is the phase of this 3D view?

both are in the new construction phase.

I hope this is what you meant from the 'phase'.
