Please go read the Input/Output (I/O) reference guide, that'll explain what the fields are and you'll quickly realize what prevents the operation of the object: https://bigladdersoftware.com/epx/docs/24-2/input-output-reference/group-airflow.html#zoneventilationwindandstackopenarea

TL;DR: the Min/Max/Delta temperature are too stringent. It means it'll only operate when:

  • indoor temp is 18-22C, and,
  • there's more than 10C difference between outdoor and indoor temperature, and,
  • the OA temp is between -7C and -2C.

Example of relaxed thresholds:

 -100,                                   !- Minimum Indoor Temperature {C}
 ,                                       !- Minimum Indoor Temperature Schedule Name
 100,                                    !- Maximum Indoor Temperature {C}
 ,                                       !- Maximum Indoor Temperature Schedule Name
 -100,                                   !- Delta Temperature {deltaC}
 ,                                       !- Delta Temperature Schedule Name
 -100,                                   !- Minimum Outdoor Temperature {C}
 ,                                       !- Minimum Outdoor Temperature Schedule Name
 100,                                    !- Maximum Outdoor Temperature {C}
 ,                                       !- Maximum Outdoor Temperature Schedule Name
 40;                                     !- Maximum Wind Speed {m/s}
