[EnergyPlus_Support] Re: Eco roof



I just used a timestep of 30 over the week end and still get this msg:

   ** Severe  ** CalcEcoRoof: Too few time steps per hour for stability.
   **   ~~~   ** ...Entered Timesteps per hour=[30], Change to some value greater than [60] for assured stability.


That's a lot of timesteps!
