Error "EnergyPlus returned a non-zero exit code (1). Check the stdout-energyplus log"

Hi, I'm a relatively new user of Openstudio and I got this error below when trying to run my file:

**FATAL:Errors occurred on processing input file. Preceding condition(s) cause termination. EnergyPlus Run Time=00hr 00min 0.07sec EnergyPlus returned '1' EnergyPlus returned a non-zero exit code (1). Check the stdout-energyplus log Removing any copied EnergyPlus files EnergyPlus Terminated with a Fatal Error. Check eplusout.err log. Found error in state 'EnergyPlus' with message: 'D:\OSN\src\workflow\RunEnergyPlus.cpp@291 : EnergyPlus Terminated with a Fatal Error. Check eplusout.err log.' stderr: Failed to run workflow. Last Error: stderr: Found error in state 'EnergyPlus' with message: 'D:\OSN\src\workflow\RunEnergyPlus.cpp@291 : EnergyPlus Terminated with a Fatal Error. Check eplusout.err log.' Simulation failed to run, with exit code 1

My input file was a DOE prototype building (SmallOffice), and I used the prototype weather file from the Energyplus website "USA_NY_New.York-John.F.Kennedy.Intl_.AP_.744860_TMY3.epw". I checked the eplusout.err file and it shows this:

I have attached my floorplan and 3d view as well - It's a 2 story small office building.
