[Equest-users] Heating is not on for System Type Pkgd Va

[Jing Hong]

Thank you Daric and John!!!!!
Choosing Package VAV is the trigger for the error. I changed it to PVVVT
and it worked! With minimal unmet hours. You guys saved my life. LOL. I
have tried everything I googled out these days.

Thank you!!!
