Run error - JSON input validation error (LED Wattage range error) #50

Closed BrianaParrBaker closed 6 months ago

This error appeared when attempting to run an audit. This house already had all LED bulbs, so I modeling it as having existing LEDs and got his error. Then I deleted the LED entry and then was able to run the audit. Error message: run error

Lighting page: lightng page

Existing LED bulbs should have wattage range < 10w available. The only alternative is to skip any existing LED fixtures with bulbs less than 10w. If the intent is to allow future energy models to include internal gains from lighting, then this would need to be fixed.

Possible Workaround: Aggregate LED bulbs until the wattage is > 10, then adjust the lamp count downward. Example, model 10, 8w bulbs as 5 16w bulbs, then make a note in the comment area. Unfortunately, this results in an audit that does not accurately represent the equipment in the home, but at least runs through the energy analysis.

As noted, the primary use case for this is to account for internal loads. Currently lighting does not feed an internal load calculation. Similarly, common use is to omit lighting that will not be considered for replacement.

Existing workaround.

Added for future discussion (incubator #160). Low resulting priority likely.

Since the new lamp wattage allows < 10 watts, lets call this one adequate and close the issue.
