Re: [EnergyPlus_Support] start_up

[Linda Lawrie <linda@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

You need to set your parameters for loads/temperature convergence so 
things will "converge" before it starts the simulation.

You do not typically need to start the simulation "early" -- it needs 
to reach a steady state convergence and then it will start the actual 
simuluation and give you the results.
