Hello, I am doing a simulation with a Type 19 zone, solar collectors, PV, hot water tank... When I run the simulation with a time step of 9 minutes or more, the program runs fine. As soon as I use a time step of 8 minutes or less, I get a range check error. After adding and removing all the different components, I have found that the culprit is the Type 19 window model. I am using the windows that have Transmittance Calculated Internally (19Wind-1). If I remove these windows from the model and change the Zone model and Geometry inputs to reflect a zone with no windows, the range check error disapears. I have attached the model with only the zone related components. Has anyone managed to use the Temperature Level Type 19 zone with time steps below 9 minutes with these windows? Thanks, Rémi
