Hi,
I keep getting several severe error messages,
" ** Severe ** CalcZoneAirTempSetpoints: Illegal control type for Zone=THERMAL ZONE 1, Found value=14, in Schedule=ZONE CONTROL TYPE SCHED "
I checked my schedule, ZONE CONTROL TYPE SCHED in my IDF and I get this,
Schedule:Compact,
Zone Control Type Sched, !- Name

Through: 3/31, !- Field 1
For: AllDays, !- Field 2
Until: 24:00, !- Field 3

Through: 9/30, !- Field 5
For: AllDays, !- Field 6
Until: 24:00, !- Field 7
2, !- Field 8
Through: 12/31, !- Field 9
For: AllDays, !- Field 10
Until: 24:00, !- Field 11

I checked the Schedule Type Limits Name, "Control Type", and I get this,
