Running Simulation without HVAC

Hi,

I'm trying to run my model without any HVAC (basically just a house sitting out in the environment). However when I try to run my simulation, it seems that i'm getting errors about my thermostats. I may have tinkered with them. How do I get around this error? (I basically want to know how I can run the model w/o having to deal with people or thermostat schedules)

Error reads like:

* ThermostatSetpoint:DualSetpoint="THERMOSTAT SETPOINT DUAL SETPOINT 4" invalid Heating Setpoint Temperature Schedule Name="" not found. * Severe * ThermostatSetpoint:DualSetpoint="THERMOSTAT SETPOINT DUAL SETPOINT 4" invalid Cooling Setpoint Temperature Schedule Name="" not found. * Severe * GetStagedDualSetpoint: Errors with invalid names in ZoneControl:Thermostat:StagedDualSetpoint objects. * ~~~ * ...These will not be read in. Other errors may occur. * Fatal ** Errors getting Zone Control input data. Preceding condition(s) cause termination. ...Summary of Errors that led to program termination: ..... Reference severe error count=7 ..... Last severe error=GetStagedDualSetpoint: Errors with invalid names in ZoneControl:Thermostat:StagedDualSetpoint objects.

Thanks
