Hey I am very new to energy modeling and tried to setup a simple 2 zone building with a vrf hvac system. I get the following errors when trying to run my model:

 Program Version,EnergyPlus, Version 25.1.0-68a4a7c774, YMD=2025.11.10 11:55,

To me it seems like the formatting of my file is wrong but i tried to follow the documentation i found online.
Does anyone know where the issue might come from? I shared my idf and epw files in google drive here.

Thanks in advance
