<div>Thanks James. I do have an additional HW loop pump...but I will take a look at the thermostat schedule stuff.</div>

<p class="MsoNormal">Thanks John--I hadn't input the reheat delta t, thinking that it was one of those "blank" default auto-calc things.... so by inputting a 30 deg delta, that took away the error in the bdl file, but the results are still not showing any space heating consumption and yet somehow I have 0.0 hours out of throttling range---I thought this had to be too good to be true.</p>

<p class="MsoNormal">Hi all,</p></div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p></div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal">I thought I was wrapping up my baseline model and then for some reason I discovered that the only heating energy being used is going through the zone baseboards. When I take out the baseboards, the results show a big fat ZERO for any space heating energy the DOE2 error shows below. How can the design loads not get passed to the system. The baseline systems are VAV with reheat, but for some reason there is no heat or reheat unless I specify pre-heat (which there is none) or baseboards... any ideas are appreciated--because I thought I was closer to finished with this model until this issue popped up.</p>
