Re: [EnergyPlus_Support] An error when applied the UCSD Displacement Ventilation Module

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

It is difficult to say without more information.  My guess is that there is 
something wrong with the ventilation inputs and the zone is overheating from 
solar or internal gains.  Did the simulation progress far enough to report any 
output?  Perhaps you can report zone air and surface temperatures and determine 
more about the problem.
