<p class=MsoNormal>Hi ALL,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>I have included chilled ceiling into my model and have
encountered an error during simulation. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>The error message is : <b><i>Error in automatic heat
transfer calculation for surface 5 or its adjacent surface!:
Automatic heat transfer calculation is only allowed on surfaces within a
zone. Please check building input file (.bui)!</i></b><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>Any advice on how to rectify the error? Attached are my
files.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><b>Note</b>: The data used for the chilled ceiling is
intended for trial purpose, final values have not been confirmed.<o:p></o:p></p>
