I am unsure what this error means or how to fix it in E+ version 22.2: Site:GroundDomain:BasementDoEndOfIterationOperations: Out of range temperatures detected in the ground domain.

I wasn't getting any errors with my two story home (with a basement) until I tried simulating it with the heat balance algorithm: finite difference method (it works with the conduction transfer function). Then it started giving me this error which I believe pertains to the way I defined heat transfer from the basement walls/floor and the surrounding ground but am unsure how to fix the temperatures of the ground?

This is the full description of the error: 

** Severe  ** Site:GroundDomain:BasementDoEndOfIterationOperations: Out of range temperatures detected in the ground domain.
**   ~~~   ** This could be due to the size of the loads on the domain.
**   ~~~   ** Verify inputs are correct. If problem persists, notify EnergyPlus support.
**  Fatal  ** Preceding error(s) cause program termination

Thanks kindly!

Hi Santinah, do you have BeatBalanceAlgorithm object?

Yes, I do! I would like to use the Finite Difference Series but with that option, that is when I get this error. It runs fine without error with the Conduction Transfer Function option and I am wondering why or if it had anything to do with the way I defined heat transfer through my basement walls to the soil?
