RE: [EnergyPlus_Support] Ventilation:Mechanical Controller Issues

["Andrew Sheaffer" <sheaffer@xxxxxxx>]

Mike,

 

Putting the zone names directly into the VENTILATION:MECHANICAL objects does
not solve the problem.  The errors are exactly the same with the zone names
in the object.  It is very strange how only some of the zones come up with
this error (for example the CC and CO zones on each floor do not appear in
the error and the entire 2nd Floor does not appear).  

 

Thanks for the help,

 

Andrew

The input looks fine to me, so I do not understand the errors. I have posted
a 
bug report to determine if there is a lurking input error or if this is a
bug. 
One thing you might try would be to use simple zone names instead of ZONE
LIST 
names in the VENTILATION:MECHANICAL objects.
