[EnergyPlus_Support] Re: sunlit area too large

["zhaicq98" <chaoqinz@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi, Mike,

Thanks for your reply. I checked the geometry input and did not find 
any problems. I tried to remove the large window on that wall, then 
the error message disappeared. I also noticed that there was a 
warning message "Too many vertices in a shadow overlap". Overlapping 
figure and figure being overlapped are also given. I am not sure if 
it is the cause for this problem. In fact, I do not understand what 
this warning means.
