"CheckEnvironmentSpecifications: SimulationControl specified doing design day simulations, but no design environments specified. * ~~~ * ...No design environment results produced. For these results, add appropriate SizingPeriod:* objects for your simulation. "

You need to add design days to your simulation. Your simulation is failing at the first hour because it cannot do teh system sizing.

You can input design days manually, or import them from a .ddy file. .ddy files come with TMY3 weather, or you can download them here: http://energyplus.helpserve.com/knowledgebase/article/View/103/39/design-conditions-definitions-annual-for-all-ashrae-2009-design-condition-locations

However, it appears you are trying to simulate future weather. In this case, you'll want to adjust your design days to account for higher temperatures, otherwise the system sizing may be insufficient. You'll need to use your judgment to increase the design day values.
