[EnergyPlus_Support] Re: question about air-air heat recovery with economizer

["donbshireyiii" <shirey@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Chaoqin:

You are correct.  Selecting ECONOMIZER or BYPASS should have worked.

I ran your input data file.  You see only 1 error message, at the very
beginning of the simulation (Jan 1 at 00:10).

It turns out that there is a faulty initialization being performed in
the air-to-air heat exchanger model during the "warm up" calculations
at the beginning of the simulation.

Disregard the error message; this initialization issue should have
virtually no impact on your results.   We'll fix it for the next
release.
