<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 color=navy face=Arial><span style='font-size:

copy of the model you are working on, and then shift over to a different build
version of eQUEST that doesn’t have this bug. I cannot recall which
version I ended up using that made it work, but there are several in the
download area on the DOE-2 website to try from. Just remember to save a copy of
your model before doing this.</span></font></p>

<p class=MsoNormal style='margin-left:.5in'><font size=2 face=Arial><span
style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:Arial'>Hey everyone. Thank you for
the help so far. My current question is regarding the Heating via DX
coils with a ground loop. I have run every eQuest model successfully with
other systems (even the other DX coil options), but every time the ground loop
causes my eQuest model to crash. Literally, the program shuts down each
time I choose the DX Coils ground loop as my heat source and run the building
simulation. I would really like to see what the loads look like for this
system. Any thoughts??</span></font></p>
