When running System Loads or Apache simulation I receive an error saying the ApacheHVAC network has unassigned spaces, how do I correct this?
Apache error: There are one or more unassigned Room component(s) and/or Active Duct location(s) in the ApacheHVAC network. These assignments are required for the simulation to run. Apache error: Each closed loop of the HVAC air system must contain at least one (non-adiabatic) room or zone.

For full answer with images and worked troubleshooting example see attached PDF.
The first error usually refers to an HVAC network in the asp file which does not have any rooms assigned to the principal room. i.e. a prototype network is imported but no rooms have yet been assigned to the multiplex.
The second error refers ether to bespoke HVAC networks where a complete loop on the airside network does not contain a room component or more likely again where a room component on a multiplex layer does not have a room/zone assigned to it.
This example demonstrates the problem and how to troubleshoot (particularly on large/complex systems).
