Simulation Failed

Hi Modelers!

I am new to Openstudio and am having trouble simulating a file I developed. I'm sure my issues have arose prior being a new user. I have reviewed many videos/questions and have been moving through the err Log to try and get it to finish simulation. At this point I am having no luck and am spending lots of time with little results.
