Allocation of Equipment Energy

Hello,

I am new to eQUEST and now is modeling a office building. Afer I ran the simulation for the building peformance analysis. I got the error messages for each thermal zone in the detailed output files.

**WARNING**********************************************************************
Zone: EL1 West Perim Zn (G.W1) could not successfully
allocate all equipment energy to the 5-minute bins
because of an equipment overload. The peak load
used in ECONOMICS will not include the fraction due
to the overload, but the PLANT reports will.
Mon/Day/Hour: 1 2 8 Energy: 22.9 Unallocated: 2.921

In my model, actually I didn't define the equipment load. Only internal load is the lighting load. Does anyone have any ideas how to fix the problem?

Thanks a lot
