[Equest-users] Question on Energy consumption results

Mon Sep 24 10:42:10 PDT 2018

PFA Files-.inp & pd2

FYI- If I switch daylight off for shell component-Floor 5, the simulation
runs otherwise it shows error.

I have switched on daylight for rest of the shell component to observe area
light changes.
