Re: [EnergyPlus_Support] false zone name duplicates

[Linda Lawrie <linda@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

You need to send your file to the helpdesk, we can help you
there.

Limitations for Interfaces/names are shown in both the Interface
Developer's guide and early in the IOReference.

Specifically, if they aren't unique in the first 100
characters...   However, I believe it will tell you if you try
to input something over 100 characters in an alpha field.

Search your file -- it seems like you've put in two zones of same
name.
