EnergyPro require the cooling tower minimum water temperature to be above the
boiler setpoint. This might be correct for a water source heat pump
system, but I don't think it is correct for a hot water reheat system, for
instance. I have never been able to get EnergySoft to tell me why this
limitation exists.<br>
<br>
You may have a different situation, but I have seen that error in EnergyPro.<br>
