Analysis ID 89fce, issue in CEA, no cooling demand for any building. #432

Analysys ID 89fce - Exception: There is no cooling demand for any building. Please check the input files.

The direct reason for this is that the cooling demands "QC_sys_MWhyr" are all 0. Therefore, when mapping the building names with the cooling demand, all the buildings are not added to the variable '"buildings_names_connected" because their demands are all 0.

After communicating with Mathias, we found out that all the building types in the buildings_footprint are "SCHOOL". Mathias told me that "SCHOOL" in CEA has no air-con, therefore, there's no cooling demand for this type.

A possible solution for this issue is to assign different types to the buildings instead of all "SCHOOL". From the perspective of the adapter, an input validation of the building types can be added prior to the running of the simulation.
