I included the following text in my .inp file, copied-and-pasted from an .inp 
file that eQuest generated.&nbsp; My intention is to edit it to reflect the 
conditions of the present project, which I really really don't want to have to 
re-create in the wizard, since I've already composed about 3,000 lines of .inp 
code for complex geometry, schedules, etc.&nbsp; As of yet, the only thing that 
I've edited are the U-names referring to the fan schedule, the heat schedule, 
the cool schedule, and the space - so that they match the present project.&nbsp; 
Scrolling down in this e-mail, you'll see the lovely error messages that appear 
when I load the .inp file into eQuest.&nbsp; Can anyone tell me what is 
wrong&nbsp;and how to fix it?&nbsp; (Yes, I clicked on the errors, but eQuest 
tells me nothing helpful.)</SPAN><o:p></o:p></P>

By the way, my concern here is only with HVAC errors and not with the electric 
meter error, which simply results from me having commented-out the electric 
meter code in the .inp file.</SPAN><o:p></o:p></P>
