[EnergyPlus_Support] Re: Convergence problem



That problem happens during warmup period. Maybe, the construction of your building is too heavy and thick to use CTFs. 

If you have problem to solve this warning, use other numerical
scheme...it means that if you select ConductionFiniteDifference as HeatbalanceAlgorithm instead of ConductionTransferFunction, you can
avoid this problem.
