[EnergyPlus_Support] DOE Reference Building, Elementary School, Chicago problem with NoEconomizer uni



I am running the Elementary School, Chicago model from the DOE Reference buildings (after converting to E+7). When I run it, E+ reports 12K warnings, mostly repeats of these two:
** Warning ** Coil:Cooling:DX:SingleSpeed "PSZ-AC_2:5_COOLC DXCOIL" - Air-cooled condenser inlet dry-bulb temperature below 0 C. Outdoor dry-bulb temperature = -10.00
   **   ~~~   **  ... Occurrence info = Chicago Ohare Intl Ap IL USA TMY3 WMO#=725300, 01/01 07:52 - 07:54


** Warning ** Coil:Cooling:DX:SingleSpeed "PSZ-AC_2:5_COOLC DXCOIL" - Full load outlet air dry-bulb temperature < 2C. This indicates the possibility of coil frost/freeze. Outlet temperature = -3.99 C.
   **   ~~~   **  ...Occurrence info = Chicago Ohare Intl Ap IL USA TMY3 WMO#=725300, 01/01 07:52 - 07:54

The economizer type is "NoEconomizer". 

Why the Controller does not limit the OA flow to prevent the coil from freezing?

What is the model missing?

I posted the file, in the file section of our group as: ES_Chicago.idf .
Thanks for any help
