CBECC-Com baseline system error #941

CBECC-Com Version: 3, but also tested on 3a

I'm working with a file that has a fatal EnergyPlus error and won't simulate: 

2015-Feb-12 16:21:25 -     EnergyPlus Fatal Error(s) (1):
2015-Feb-12 16:21:25 -        1: IP: Errors occurred on processing IDF file. 
Preceding condition(s) cause termination.
2015-Feb-12 16:21:25 -     EnergyPlus Severe Error(s) (3):
2015-Feb-12 16:21:25 -        1: IP: IDF line~14237 
Object=CONTROLLER:MECHANICALVENTILATION, name=BASESYS5 OACTRL MECH VENT 
CONTROLLER, Required Field=[Zone 1 Name] was blank.
2015-Feb-12 16:21:25 -        2: IP: IDF line~15160 
Object=CONTROLLER:MECHANICALVENTILATION, name=BASESYS5 OACTRL-4 MECH VENT 
CONTROLLER, Required Field=[Zone 1 Name] was blank.

I've looked through the issue log and I'm wondering if EnergyPlus is unable to 
create a baseline system because of an error in my file? However, I can't find 
any obvious errors. I'm only looking at Envelope-only compliance right now. 

.cibd and .log files attached.

Assigning David as the owner.

This model is set at the NewEnvelopeandLighting compliance mode. 
EPlus severe error due to missing field for  Zone Name in the 
Object=CONTROLLER:MECHANICALVENTILATION. This is occurring in the zb run.
I was able to replicate this error for the OffLrg-PrkgExhaust and 
OffLrg-PrkgExhaustLab files by changing the compliance mode to 
NewEnvelopeandLighting. Error seems to be occurring only when the model has a 
Parking Garage space and is in the NewEnevelopeandLighting compliance mode.

Yes, it appears the issue is that the rules are trying to create a flr-by-flr 
system for each building story, but since the 'Garage' Story has no conditioned 
space, it has no zone for the baseline system to serve

I thought I had fixed this a while ago, so I need to look at what is causing 
this in this model.  I did see that there is one Story object with no spaces, 
which should be checked for.

Should be able to have this fixed by Mon.

Fix committed @ r3110, and will be fixed in v3b. Chitra, please test the other 
files that you mentioned to see if this fix resolves that.

However, this model still fails due to a number of error caused by surfaces 
having Zero or negative surface area and degenerate surfaces. Switching owner 
to Roger for further review.

David,

I am getting the same error message (in addition to others) for the 
NewEnvelopeAndLighting and NewEnvelopeAndPartialLighting Compliance methods. 
See attached cibd

Re: comment #4, fix committed @ r3120. I think this should do it.
