*** ===== Recurring Surface Error Summary ===== *** The following surface error messages occurred.
*** Base Surface does not surround subsurface errors occurring... *** Check that the GlobalGeometryRules object is expressing the proper starting corner and direction [CounterClockwise/Clockwise]

* ~~~ * The base surround errors occurred 3 times (total).
*** ===== Final Error Summary ===== *** The following error categories occurred. Consider correcting or noting. *** Loads Initialization did not Converge *** ..1) very high thermal mass such as very thick concrete (solution: increase max number of warmup *** .. days in the BUILDING object); *** ..2) moderate mass and inadequate space conditioning such that the building keeps getting warmer *** .. and warmer on successive days (solution: add HVAC, check building thermal properties, *** .. check if infiltration is included, make sure HVAC properly controlled); *** ..3) a soil layer modeled below the concrete slab - (solution remove this layer and read about *** .. ground temperatures in the Auxiliary Programs document). *** ..4) unreasonable (too small) limits in the BUILDING object for temperature (.4 default) or *** .. loads tolerances (.04 default) *** 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).
