<p class="MsoNormal">Hello all,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">This is my first project dealing with a building in California. This is a complete office renovation that needs to be compliant with title 24. I started the project in version 3.65 build 7175 with DOE 2.3. I have a good portion of the
building complete in detailed mode. The model freezes and closes every time I go to the project data tab in project properties and click CEC Title 24, August 2009 V1 from the dropdown of energy code compliance. Is there a way to run the compliance in DOE
2.3? I made a quick building in version DOE 2.2 to check and it worked fine. Do I need to convert the existing model to 2.2 to work? If so, how? I tried copying and pasting the INP file of 2.3 to 2.2 and it crashes too.
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Is there an easy way around this or do I need to start from scratch? I already have about 40 hours into this model so I’m trying not to resort to this, but I keep running into road blocks with every attempt. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Also, I just tried to run the simulation and it took about four hours to get to 98% and then froze the computer. The file size is 61.7 gig…. The building isn’t very large so I have no clue how the file got so large.
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Sorry for sending this a third time, but I’ve not got an answer. Is there another forum and/or website that I could post this question on that would be more appropriate?
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Thanks in advance,<o:p></o:p></p>
