RE: [EnergyPlus_Support] Re: Internal Gains - High Consumption Equipment

Pablo,

had this problem on a project, and the error was in geometry.

Ok, Jim,

thanks for the extremely fast reply, more information is added here:

** Severe ** Temperature (low) out of bounds [-518.20] for zone="8PAV:ESTERILIZACAORAPIDA", for surface="8PAV:ESTERILIZACAORAPIDA_PARTITION_5_0_11363"

** ~~~ ** During Warmup & Sizing, Environment=SUMMER DESIGN DAY IN SAO PAULO, at Simulation time=01/15 20:00 - 20:01

** ~~~ ** Zone="8PAV:ESTERILIZACAORAPIDA", Diagnostic Details:
** ~~~ ** ...Internal Heat Gain [4006.000] W/m2
** ~~~ ** ...Infiltration/Ventilation [4.447E-003] m3/s
** ~~~ ** ...Mixing/Cross Mixing [0.000] m3/s
** ~~~ ** ...Zone is not part of HVAC controlled system.

** Fatal ** CalcHeatBalanceInsideSurf: Program terminates due to preceding conditions.

...Summary of Errors that led to program termination:

..... Reference severe error count=1

..... Last severe error=Temperature (low) out of bounds [-518.20] for zone="8PAV:ESTERILIZACAORAPIDA", for surface="8PAV:ESTERILIZACAORAPIDA_PARTITION_5_0_11363"

************* Warning: Node connection errors not checked - most system input has not been read (see previous warning).

************* Fatal error -- final processing. Program exited before simulations began. See previous error messages.

----------------------------------------------------------
Is the "6" of the 4006 W/m2 maybe the problem? should I indicate 3999 W/m2 for example?

Any detective hunch?

thanks.
