DOAS Fan Coil Severe Error: Calculation of cooling coil design UA failed for coil FCU COOLING COIL

I am making a test model with mostly default values and a DOAS Fan Coil with District Heating/Cooling.

Why there is an error? :

** Severe ** Calculation of cooling coil design UA failed for coil ROOM_7_F31B50B4 FCU COOLING COIL

coolingCoilFailure.gh (68.3 KB)

Even if I raise the setpoint for cooling way above, I still get this error:

One possible fix for spaces that don’t require cooling is to hard-sizing the Design Flow Rate to 0, and set the schedule to Always Off, so it is not trying to autosize it during the simulation.

Is there a way to specify these value via HB?

As for the spaces with cooling - I am not sure.
But I am just using the default parameters here.

@mrbro the error I’m not sure why but if you want to specify values for your HVAC system that are not in the honeybee HVAC components, but stay within the ecosystem you’ll want to try ironbug.

There are plenty of templates in this component to get started:

hopefully that is helpful
