Re: [EnergyPlus_Support] Re: RunSlab Program





Your slab program did not run due to that error and therefore, the program does not contain the slab temperatures.

You can submit the input file to the helpdesk.

Hi,

I have run the idf using the regular EP-Launch and I got the following severe error message:

----------------------------------------------------------------------
** Severe  ** Output:PreprocessorMessage="GroundTempCalc - Slab" has the following Severe condition:
   **   ~~~   ** The calculated ground temperature exceeds -100 C [-104.07 C]
----------------------------------------------------------------------

The idf has the complete set up of the building model and it runs fine before setting the GroundHeatTransfer objects.

Does anyone know the cause of this error?
Thanks.
