Hello Wafik,

It looks like you may have the same name for your spaces as you do for the zones. Although, not knowing what is listed on lines, 1292, 1371, 1473? I cannot be sure. I recommend adding the designator Spc for spaces, Zn for zones and Plnm for plenums, also I keep the eQUEST zone designation (G.NW1, B.SE2, etc) just to ensure I do not have duplication issues. You will need to fix these, since errors will stop your file from running, warnings should be investigated as well, but they will not stop your run.
