Energy Demand (Load Calculation) Error

[solideoglory]

Hi CEA Team,
I hope you are doing well. This is my first time using CEA because I’m doing a research right now.
Yesterday, I ran “Energy Demand Part 2: load modelling [Baseline Scenario 1]” and encountered an error (details attached below). I would appreciate your advice on how to resolve this issue.

City Energy Analyst version 4.0.0-beta.4

@solideoglory thanks for reporting this issue. Could you provide us with more information on how you created the project?

Based on the error, it looks like the column name name is missing. Double check the zone building geometry files and ensure that the column exists and let us know if it works.
