Error message	Explanation
No current building selected	More than one building is defined in the model and it has not been decided which to simulate. Right-click on the building ( in the tree), choose Properties and put a tick marker next to Current building.
No weather file	No climate data file have been selected as basis for the thermal simulation. Right-click on Site ( in the tree) and click the Browse-button to find a climate data file (.dry or .try).
Geometry incomplete	The geometry to the thermal zone do not define a closed cell.
No rooms	The thermal zone do not contain at least one room. Press and hold the left mouse button while the relevant room is dragged on to the empty thermal zone or delete the superfluous thermal zone.
No construction type	The face do not have an attached construction (material layers). Standard constructions can be attached to any face or freely selected constructions from the database.
No windoor type	Material properties have not been attached to the WinDoor. Standard constructions can be attached to any face or freely selected constructions from the database.
Unknown geometry	The geometry of the WinDoor is undefined, e.g. if the calculated area of the panel becomes negative. The geometry is calculated from knowledge of the width of the frame and the panel percentage.
No component	The physical properties of the system is not defined. Right-click on the system and define the physical properties at the first tab.
No schedule	The system have not got a schedule. Right-click on the system in the tree, jump to the Schedule tab and define a schedule for the control of the system. If the system is not to be used in this simulation, it can be turned off by right-clicking the thermal zone and mark it by a grey tick marker.
No control	The system do not have a control. Right-click on the system in the tree, jump to the Control tab(s) and define a control for the system. If the system is not to be used in this simulation, it can be turned off by right-clicking the thermal zone and mark it by a grey tick marker.
No time	The system do not have a time plan. Right-click on the system in the tree, jump to the Time tab and define a time plan for the control of the system. If the system is not to be used in this simulation, it can be turned off by right-clicking the thermal zone and mark it by a grey tick marker.
Unknown (Mixing)	The source for air into the thermal zone via Mixing is undefined.
General Lux	The general lighting level [lux] is undefined (<= 0).
Unknown (Ventilation - Natkøling)	The sensor zone for controlling the ventilation system for night cooling is undefined. Right-click on the system in the tree, jump to the NightCoolCtrl tab and define a sensor zone for the ventilation system.
Thickness = x m	The thickness of a material layer in the construction is less than 0.0001 m.
Missing material	Material properties are not defined – thermal and/or moisture properties.
Spacer = x	The length of the spacer profile in the WinDoor is negative or zero.
Frame = x	The area of the frame in the WinDoor is negative.
Panel = x %	The panel area of the WinDoor is negative.
Dens = x kg/m³ / Cp = x J/kgK / lambda = x W/mK	The properties of the material is not defined correct.
U = x W/m²K	The U-value for the panel in the WinDoor is not defined correct.
