Error while modeling radiant underfloor cooling system
Hello guys! I'm a student in Technical University in Crete and I've been struggling a couple of weeks in a project, in which I would like to model a radiant floor cooling system using "Low Temperature Radiant Variable Flow" and I'm getting the following warnings every time:

but I couldn't solve my warnings. Could somebody help me please?
The major problem is when I try to export my results to .csv I get "0" Ideal Loads so I can't compare anything. The measure that I use to export to .csv file is:
OpenStudio Measures
- AddOutputVariable with variable name Zone Air System Sensible Heating Energy
- AddOutputVariable 1 with variable name Zone Air System Sensible Cooling Energy
Reporting Measures
- ExportOutputVariabletoCSV with variable name Zone Air System Sensible Heating Energy
- ExportOutputVariabletoCSV 1 with variable name Zone Air System Sensible Cooling Energy
I'm attaching my updated .osm and weather file .epw in a .zip here: http://www.mediafire.com/file/wnc6z4uy8084bcc/radiant_model.zip/file
Thank's in advance!

The major problem is when I try to export my results to .csv I get "0" Ideal Loads so I can't compare anything. The measure that I use to export to .csv file is:
OpenStudio Measures
- AddOutputVariable with variable name Zone Air System Sensible Heating Energy
- AddOutputVariable 1 with variable name Zone Air System Sensible Cooling Energy
Reporting Measures
- ExportOutputVariabletoCSV with variable name Zone Air System Sensible Heating Energy
- ExportOutputVariabletoCSV 1 with variable name Zone Air System Sensible Cooling Energy

Error while modeling radiant underfloor cooling system
Hello guys! I'm a student in Technical University in Crete and I've been struggling a couple of weeks in a project, in which I would like to model a radiant floor cooling system using "Low Temperature Radiant Variable Flow" and I'm getting the following error every time:
** Severe ** Hydronic radiant systems may not be autosized without specification of nodes or schedules. ** ~~~ **
* Severe * Hydronic radiant systems may not be autosized without specification of nodes or schedules.
