[Equest-users] error msg: loop - no primary heating equipment attached

If Circulation Loop 5 is attached to the primary heating loop as its source of heat, then I believe you need to designate the Loop Subtype as “Secondary”. See Screen Shot:

Subject: [Equest-users] error msg: loop - no primary heating equipment attached

Good Morning -

I am working on a 65 story building in eQuest 3.64. The building is cooled by Standard VAV units (primary cooling equipement is chillers) heated by perimeter baseboards (steam boilers).

The first 6 floors of the building have perimeter induction units with no re-heat. For this I have created a different loop (linked this to the primary heating loop). This loop is called the Circulation Loop 5 in my model. I assign this loop to the   baseboard loop in the air side HVAC parameters.

When I run the simulation I get the following error:

 ***ERROR***********************************************************************
             Loop: Circulation Loop 5               has no attached primary
             heating equipment.

I could not find anything in the archives directly to tackle this issue. Not an expert in HVAC and hence need your advise.

Thanks in advance.
