Re: [EnergyPlus_Support] Error with cooling coils



If the error occured only once or just a small number of times, then you can 
ignore it.  If you are using SETPOINT MANAGER:OUTSIDE AIR to reset the chilled 
water temperature as a function of outdoor dry bulb temp, then there is a known 
problem which can cause these error to occur, but only for a few iterations 
early in the simulation which should not impact the results at all.
