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.
