High Temperature problem when coupling CONTAM and E+

edit

Hello, I am a masters majoring Architecture Environment Design.

These days, I am researching integrated built-environment of Middle School including light, IAQ, thermal. so I am trying to couple Energyplus, CONTAM, Matlab.

the geometry of building, IAQ model are designed by CONTAM. Thermal properties and HVAC Loop are designed by Designbuilder and Energyplus. finally, I success co-simulation between E+ and CONTAM with some trials and errors. but, when I watched the result data, I found the overheat for non-occupancy periods.

I thought it may be caused by Warmup or Convergence problem during initialization. Hence, I increased min and max warmup days but it is still caused.

How can I solve the over heat problem of my model?

this is the message that I got from .err file

   ** Warning ** Temperature out of range [-100. to 200.] (PsyPsatFnTemp)

thank you.
