Currently producing an energy report and an EPC is required. When selecting the EPC tab an error comes up as shown by the image below.
The project has been set up by another person so unsure if there is an error in setup, but have noticed within the documents that there is a PartL2006.dat file in the folder so I have tried to delete this several times in the hope this will correct the error but with no success and there is no other option to view the EPC as said in the error box.
Any help would be great
Thanks
Hi Josh,
Great, thanks for letting me know. SBEM has a limit as to the amount of surfaces/zones it can process, however running zones cumulatively in this manner can often assist. You may also wish to consider room multipliers should this occur in future, further info here.

Thanks for your help Shane,
I tried selecting and producing an epc for each zone which worked fine then selected all zones to produce an epc which has now been successful.
Thanks for the project Josh,
However I cannot reproduce the above error as of yet. Are you selecting all rooms before clicking on EPC? I note there are quite a lot of rooms in this project so SBEM may be struggling with this. Could you please try just selecting one room and see if the error persists?
Could you please forward the project so I can take a closer look? Please zip the project folder and upload to here.
Thanks,Shane
