<div>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.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>I've attached the current .pd2 & .inp files I am running. If you do have time to take a quick peak at my inputs...this baseline file is based on Appendix G compliance. please note my system names do not match the system selection I have for baseline case.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Thanks for your time and attention to give me a hand.</div>

<div>Have you specified your Reheat-Delta-T for your zone VAV boxes? Send the .INP and .PD2 if you require further help.</div>

<div>
<div></div>
<div class="h5"><br>
<div>Hi all,</div>
<div> </div>
<div>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.</div>
