Without checking the model I would have two guesses:

1) Either you have set the cooling limit to limitCapacity, but you have not entered the capacity limit in watts. If your goal is to use the Ideal loads air system to get space loads, you can have a look at this presentation to see the fields that needs to be modified or left set to default values: https://www.researchgate.net/publicat...

2) Or you get this error because you are running an EnergyPlus model from v8.5 with EP-Launch v8.8. In this case you need to use version updater in EP-Launch utilities to convert the model to version 8.8.
