### What is the issue or question you have?

I tried to run the urban cooling mode. It isn’t work.  
Looking the sample file, I prepared the sample file, as it provided.  
Please look at the logfile to fix the problem.

### Attach the logfile here:

Hello @prime0120 and welcome to the forums!

I have not seen this error before, but it appears to be an issue with the biophysical table. Would you please attach your biophysical table so we can take a look?

Thank you,  
James

Thank you so much for your help!  
I attached the biophysical table. LUCODE was matched with the raster LULC file.  
[biophysical\_table3.csv](https://community.naturalcapitalalliance.org/uploads/short-url/bozlIJr8LQwtXIGKXlS52cFm7eY.csv) (1.8 KB)  
[LU\_raster3.tif](https://community.naturalcapitalalliance.org/uploads/short-url/z4OpTyAiC0ZmXu0kSt0J2dkpRAZ.tif) (145.6 KB)

Thank you

Thanks for including your biophysical table @prime0120 !

The issue here is that the values in the `green_area` column must be either 1 or 0, they can’t be anything in between. In your table, the classes for land use codes 28, 31 and 33 all have a `green_area` value of `0.3`, which is causing this error. If you convert those to either `0` or `1`, the model will continue executing.

Hope this helps,  
James
