<DIV><FONT face=Univers size=2><SPAN class=435382115-23032009>I'm trying to
simulate a building in Toronto, Ontario served by a ground-source heat pump
system. I'm only using the Wizard at this point and I've let nearly all
inputs default. The model compiles but eQuest crashes when it tries to
initialize the HVAC systems (right after running the loads).</SPAN></FONT></DIV>
