Re: [EnergyPlus_Support] Fatal Error!

["Michael J. Witte" <mjwitte@xxxxxxxx>]

All of the materials in this building are MATERIAL:REGULAR-R which have no 
thermal mass.  All materials which are not lightweight insulation should be 
defined with MATERIAL:REGULAR to add mass to the simulation.

Even with this change, the building is likely to overheat, because there are 
windows, but no infiltration and no HVAC system.  I recommend that you add 
purchased air to condition your zones.  See the PurchAir example file for 
details on how to do this.
