Have you include one floor surface (or floor sub-surface) having a construction with an internal source?

Heated floors or Chilled ceiling components by virtue of the construction being selected as the floor/ceiling in a zone with heated floor or chilled ceiling defined. For example in the case of a heated floor the heated floor component must be added to the appropriate HVAC zones, but also a floor construction with an internal source must be associated with at least one floor surface in that building zone. If you set up a model with a heated floor added to an HVAC zone whose equivalent building zone has any floor surfaces with a floor construction selected not having an internal source then an error will be generated.
