to move the dummy zone system and zones in the .inp file you attached to the top
of the HVAC systems/zones list.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<DIV>Good afternoon,</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>I am trying to add a mixed air unit onto a four-pipe fan coil system
through the use of a dummy zone, from which my real zones will get their outside
air. I get the following error:</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>"EL1 Sys1 (FC) (G.E16) defined before its OA-FROM-SYSTEM. This will cause
incorrect OA temperature calculation. Move this SYSTEM to be defined before its
OA-FROM-SYSTEM in the project BDL input file."</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>The catch is that there is no BDL file, as the simulation aborts before it
is complete. Is there another way to define the MAU before the Fan Coil System.
I have searched a number of terms in the user's group and there are many
questions related to this topic, but I can't find any answers. Any help would be
appreciated.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Regards,</DIV>
