Is this directly from your input file? The exclamation ( ! ) symbol is a comment character in Energyplus. If they are in your input file remove them for non-comment lines. Do not remove them from these line types: !- =========== ALL O...
Note that Block1:Meetingroom is a zone or a zone list. Make sure it only has one zone name if it is a list.
Then run the file and look at the *.expidf file to see how these HVACTemplate objects got expanded. I would try putting only the HVACTemplate objects in a file (nothing else) and run it. Then look at the *expidf file to see how the templates are expanded. Again, look at the example file to make sure you are using all the necessary template objects.
