Re: [EnergyPlus_Support] Warning Calculated Humidity Ratio



Hello Alex,

What this message is telling you is that the calculated humidity ratio is 
below the physical realm of possibility, a very small negative value,  and 
it is setting it to a very small physical value.  Either the dry and wet 
bulb, or the numerical procedures are slightly off at this physical 
boundary, but either way the warning generated is within numerical 
precision and I doubt that this will cause any distortion of results.  The 
reason that it should not cause any distortion is that you are probably in 
heating scenarios and this is normally all sensible heat transfer.


Thanks Richard Liesen
