Regarding the error message, it is possible that you were asking the system to cool the building and it is already too cold in Summer. Dr. Li

I'm simulation a summer week and have cooling set point not met problems. As far as I can tell there's something wrong with my building materials?

Can I tell on which surface this is happening and how? I have set the ground temperature to 14 degrees, because by building slab is the roof of a large underground parking (no contact to ground), but this is not changing during the summer months. Is there a way to change this for the summer months...EMS maybe? __._,_.___ Primary EnergyPlus support is found at: http://energyplus.helpserve.com or send a message to energyplus-support@xxxxxxxx The primary EnergyPlus web site is found at: http://www.energyplus.gov The group web site is: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/EnergyPlus_Support/ Attachments are currently allowed but be mindful that not everyone has a high speed connection.
