The measure assumes you have a SetpointManager assigned to the supplyOutletNode of your AirLoopHVACs. Which you apparently do not have.

You probably should... I fail to see any valid case where you would not.

Edit: I opened your model, I see your intent I guess:

I filed https://github.com/NREL/openstudio-common-measures-gem/issues/175 so the error handling gets improved.

Edit: I opened your model, I see your intent I guess:you placed a SPM:Coldest after the heating coil and a SPM:Warmest after the cooling coil.

I filed https://github.com/NREL/openstudio-common-measures-gem/issues/175 so don't think this is going to work like this. AFAIK, if you want to use both, you should probably use a Dual Duct AirLoopHVAC, similar to the error handling gets improved.DualDuctConstVolDamper.idf EnergyPlus example file (https://github.com/NREL/EnergyPlus/blob/30b074af220892f2009d830f564725f365e258c2/testfiles/DualDuctConstVolDamper.idf#L1873-L1889)

It'll look something like this:
