Hi @lukeduran, Thank you for posting this ticket and sharing an example. After some examination, this issue is associated with the same bug causing the HPXML Generation Errors you've reported in ticket #27 and #42 . @joshuamzm is working on the fix and it is his top priority to get this implemented as quickly as possible.
Thank you @kellyatradiantlabs! @joshuamzm do you have an ETA for this fix?
@lukeduran The fix for the bug in this example has been pushed into production. There are some minor associated fixes that are still being worked on, but this address will now model successfully.
We ran about 100 of our medallion homes (silver, gold, platinum) through our Radiant Labs integration to study the modeling results and what we found was concerning. We found that a large percentage of our highest scoring homes were either 100% equal to the annual energy consumption of the "typical" home or were significantly less efficient than the "typical" home.
Here is a prime example of one of our gold homes (both the request and the response). Beyond the drastic and unfavorable difference in the annual consumption of the base home and typical home, it's concerning that the base home and the applied base home are so different. We sent a heat pump, but a gas furnace and central AC were part of the applied base home. I suspect this is the culprit for inaccurate modeling, but would love your thoughts.
