thanks for the answers !

2019-02-28 13:54:33 -0500 marked best answer Why cooling loads appear during the cold months ? Heating/Cooling loads using E+

I am simulating a residential building (80 m2) using Energy-Plus to determine the Heating/Cooling loads through a typical meteorological year. for this purpose, I am using a simple HVAC with Zone control:Thermostat object.So, the aim is to predict the District:Cooling and District:Heating. Indeed, we now that cold months usually require heating loads only. however, as we look at the figure bellow, there are cooling loads in all months of the year. Any help !!!!!

2019-02-28 13:04:26 -0500 marked best answer Program exited before simulations began

I am performing a simulation for a residential building with 5 thermal zones. the simulation is good but when I'm changing the construction set, the following error appears :

Program Version,EnergyPlus, Version 9.0.1-bb7ca4f0da, YMD=2019.02.21 16:17,
  ************* Warning:  Node connection errors not checked - most system input has not been read (see previous warning).

   ************* Fatal error -- final processing.  Program exited before simulations began.  See previous error messages.

   ************* EnergyPlus Warmup Error Summary. During Warmup: 0 Warning; 0 Severe Errors.

   ************* EnergyPlus Sizing Error Summary. During Sizing: 0 Warning; 0 Severe Errors.

   ************* EnergyPlus Terminated--Fatal Error Detected. 0 Warning; 0 Severe Errors; Elapsed Time=00hr 00min  0.19sec

Any help !!

Best Regard.

2019-02-28 09:58:52 -0500 marked best answer How can I use the Slab Preprocessor when the floor is not insulated ?

Since the ground site temperature is a key factor in the simulation of residential buildings and small areas, I'm wondering if the Slab preprocessor is useful in predicting accurate GS-temperature of the non-insulated ground surfaces. And how can I use it?
