The part of the message that shows IP as part of the message means that the input is being processed by the Input Processor (IP). The IP checks for fields that are required, or that are outside specified limits.

If you look at the first few fields in the IDD file (Energy+.idd), you will see syntax that specifies how an input file should be organized. Notice that the 1st, 3rd, and 4th field shown here are required inputs. Ling story short, in addition to specifying the control zone, other inputs also need to be specified to complete a simulation.

ZoneHVAC:TerminalUnit:VariableRefrigerantFlow,

    \memo (air-to-air heat pump). The VRF terminal units are served by an
    \memo AirConditioner:VariableRefrigerantFlow system.
