Energyplus design cooling load is zero

Hello,

I saw someone else asked this question, but they didn't have a thermostat in their zones and that isn't my issue. I have a supermarket with 13 RTUs. One has a design heating load of 0 and 8 have a design cooling load of 0. This surprises me because there is lighting, people, and equipment load in all 9 RTUs that are specifying no load. EnergyPlus still allows me to run the model, so I am able to see that there actually is no heating or cooling energy showing up annually for any of those systems. I tried manually inputting the supply CFM and cooling capacity, but the warning still shows up that there is no cooling load for those rooftop units. Has anyone run into this before?

Thank You, Alisa
