VRF Control in EnergyPlus

All;

I have a model which used Sefaira to build/create the geometry and HVAC systems. I have downloaded the EnergyPlus file and imported it to E+ v8.4. I have gotten the model to run, but I have a ton of unmet hours which I cannot figure out. The system is set up as a DOAS with VRF; all of which are currently set to autosize. I have figured out the autosizing parameters and increased those, as well as modified the schedules to have the setpoints ramp back up rather than an abrupt change - but neither of these appear to have been the issue. The autosizing appears to be sizing the coils...but not operating the coils in numerous zones. Is there an additional thermostat control / control setpoint that needs to be assigned or verified? Thank you in advance for your assistance. DA
