Subject: [Equest-users] Number of heating hours not met

I have a question concerning a warning related to the number of heating hours not met and apologize in advance if this topic has been covered before.  The warning I am getting is:

"Zone might have insufficient heating capability.  Check that the system or zone HEATING-CAPACITY plus this zones BASEBOARD-RATING is adequate to maintain the zone specified DESIGN-HEAT-T for the calculated peek zone load (see LS-A or LS-B for the zone peak load)."

I am using the auto sizing function within eQuest so I am not understanding why the spaces are not satisfied.  Dose anyone know how to make the auto size function work to satisfy each zone?
