What is Error of EP for my model?

* Severe * Temperature (high) out of bounds (246.22] for zone="ZONE 1", for surface="ZONE1FLOOR" * ~~~ * During Warmup, Environment=PERIOD, at Simulation time=01/01 00:15 - 00:30 * ~~~ * Zone="ZONE 1", Diagnostic Details: * ~~~ * ...Internal Heat Gain [20.000] W/m2 * ~~~ * ...Infiltration/Ventilation [0.000] m3/s * ~~~ * ...Mixing/Cross Mixing [0.000] m3/s * ~~~ * ...Zone is part of HVAC controlled system. * Fatal * CalcHeatBalanceInsideSurf: Program terminates due to preceding conditions. ...Summary of Errors that led to program termination: ..... Reference severe error count=1 ..... Last severe error=Temperature (high) out of bounds (246.22] for zone="ZONE 1", for surface="ZONE1FLOOR" *** Warning: Node connection errors not checked - most system input has not been read (see previous warning). *** Fatal error -- final processing. Program exited before simulations began. See previous error messages.


*** ===== Recurring Error Summary ===== *** The following recurring error messages occurred.


*** * Severe * Temperature (high) out of bounds for zone=ZONE 1 for surface=ZONE1FLOOR *** * ~~~ * This error occurred 1 total times; *** * ~~~ * during Warmup 1 times; *** * ~~~ * during Sizing 0 times. *** * ~~~ * Max=246.217025 C Min=246.217025 C



*** ===== Final Error Summary ===== *** The following error categories occurred. Consider correcting or noting. *** Temperature (high) out of bounds *** ..A temperature out of bounds problem can be caused by several things. The user should check: *** ..1) the weather environment (including the horizontal IR from sky) *** ..2) the level of interal gains with respect to the zone *** ..3) the thermal properties of their materials. And other things. *** ..A common cause is a building with no or little thermal mass - all materials with Material:NoMass definitions. *** Nominally Unused Constructions *** ..The nominally unused constructions warning is provided to alert you to potential conditions that can cause *** ..extra time during simulation. Each construction is calculated by the algorithm indicated in the HeatBalanceAlgorithm *** ..object. You may remove the constructions indicated (when you use the DisplayExtraWarnings option).


*** EnergyPlus Warmup Error Summary. During Warmup: 0 Warning; 0 Severe Errors. *** EnergyPlus Sizing Error Summary. During Sizing: 14 Warning; 0 Severe Errors. *** EnergyPlus Terminated--Fatal Error Detected. 14 Warning; 1 Severe Errors; Elapsed Time=00hr 00min 0.77sec
