Hello,

This is a follow up to my previous post here

I am trying to model an unconditioned warehouse space (no mechanical cooling, only fans combined with interlocked sidewall louvers).

The fans are upblast fans and have a total combined capacity of 900,000 cfm (louvers on the sidewalls allow outside air back into the facility). These fans are constant volume and always on regardless of temperature.

The issue I was running into following @Avi 's suggestion was I would get an error along the lines of "Severe * CalcMixedAirSetPoint: Missing reference temperature setpoint for Mixed Air Setpoint Manager " if I only used a mass flow setpoint manager and not a temperature set point.
