Hello, right now I have been given a .idf file (written by another university student) so that I can start working on my thesis. It was supposed to be working but somehow I got a severe error when I run the simulation. The version of both the .idf file and my installed EnergyPlus is the same (8.9).

Here is what is shown on the .err file that I got after running the simulation.

Program Version,EnergyPlus, Version 8.9.0-40101eaafd, YMD=2019.04.06 20:32,
   ** Severe  ** <root>[ZoneHVAC:EquipmentList][Thermal Zone: Bad Equipment List][equipment][0][zone_equipment_object_type] - "Zone HVAC Baseboard Radiant Convective Electric" - Failed to match against any enum values.
   **  Fatal  ** Errors occurred on processing input file. Preceding condition(s) cause termination.
   ...Summary of Errors that led to program termination:
   ..... Reference severe error count=1
   ..... Last severe error=<root>[ZoneHVAC:EquipmentList][Thermal Zone: Bad Equipment List][equipment][0][zone_equipment_object_type] - "Zone HVAC Baseboard Radiant Convective Electric" - Failed to match against any enum values.
   ************* 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; 1 Severe Errors; Elapsed Time=00hr 00min  0.24sec

A few things that I do not understand. What is being failed to match against any enum values? And when this 'Severe' error is found, does this count/create the 'Fatal' error and end the simulation?

Here is one part of the Texteditor of the .idf file that the error mentioned.

ZoneHVAC:EquipmentList,
    Thermal Zone: Bad Equipment List,  !- Name
    ZoneHVAC:Baseboard:RadiantConvective:Electric,  !- Zone Equipment 1 Object Type
    Zone HVAC Baseboard Radiant Convective Electric,  !- Zone Equipment 1 Name
    1,                       !- Zone Equipment 1 Cooling Sequence
    1;                       !- Zone Equipment 1 Heating or No-Load Sequence

Can I kindly ask you to explain to me what the problem could be and a solution? I am new to EnergyPlus and Openstudio so I do not have a lot of knowledge about the programs. It would also be very helpful if you could recommend to me where I can study more about EnergyPlus. I am also new to this website and this is my first post so if I post anything wrong please correct me.

Thank you in advance.
