<p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:#48494A'>When I attempt to run various Global
Parameters representing energy conservation measures to the baseline, the program
faults and gives me the following error message: "An invalid argument was
encountered." When I run only the baseline, I have no
problems. Has anyone seen this before or have any insight as to what I should
look for in my model? Thank you.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
