Why do I get 'Cooling Design Supply Air Temperature=[25.00]' and 'Heating Design Supply Air Temperature=[20.00]' severe errors? ?

My understanding is that I am setting the heating and cooling temperature setpoints. For instance, if the thermal zone is at 25C or hotter it will cool. My understanding maybe incorrect here.

The error I received in the eplusout.err file is the following:

Cooling Design Supply Air Temperature=[25.00] * ~~~ * This is not allowed. Please check and revise your input. * Severe * Sizing:Zone="TZ - S6 - FCU 2" has invalid data. * ~~~ * ... incorrect Zone Heating Design Supply Air Temperature=[20.00] is less than Zone Cooling Design Supply Air Temperature=[25.00] * ~~~ * This is not allowed. Please check and revise your input. * Severe * Sizing:Zone="TZ - S6 - TOILETS" has invalid data. * ~~~ * ... incorrect Zone Heating Design Supply Air Temperature=[20.00] is less than Zone Cooling Design Supply Air Temperature=[25.00] * ~~~ * This is not allowed. Please check and revise your input. * Fatal * Sizing:Zone: Errors found in getting input. Program terminates.

How should I resolve this issue? I changed the temperature setpoints but the issue persists.
