<p class="MsoNormal">I get this warning on my simulation. I believe I have modeled a VAV system w/RH, with CHW loop (chiller) and HW loop (boiler). Very basic system. It does not appear from my results, the heating plant/fan is activated. I have checked
input, results, etc. and can’t seem to find where to “turn on” my heating plant and VAV reheat coils, or where the input for temperatures (as noted from above WARNING) can be adjusted. In Wyoming, heating generally drives our loads. . . .
