[EnergyPlus_Support] Re: Help with override error



This morning, I'm going to report more and more system nodes until I find where the RH drops (and I find it very unlikely that this is possible) from 80% (at cooling coil exit node) to 0.2% (in zone) (can one even dry air this much). I suspect a reporting error. Will keep posted what I find.
