Also, Once I mistakenly had a zero in the place of a proper setpoint on the Winter DesignDay. One number among thousands!

I bet the coil setpoints are too low because the coils are auto sized and the user specified airflow is too little to achieve the needed cooling with a normal coil working at setpoints between 12 and 18 deg C. The program is trying to cool very little air very cold to bring enough "cold energy" into the room.
