Re: [EnergyPlus_Support] Re: Warnings
Look at the zone sizing information for the first zone:
Zone Sizing, ZONE 1, Cooling, 2061.7 , 1148.6 , 1148.6 , CHICAGO
ILLINOIS SUMMER, 19:00:00, 29.076 , 0.14507E-01
The cooling design load is 2061.7 W and the calculated flow rate is 1148.6 m3/s
- that's enormous. Something is wrong with the zone thermostat setpoint or the
cooling supply temperature in the ZONE SIZING object.
