Have you tried creating a fresh project/pd2 file by opening the inp
file from eQUEST Detailed Interface (File -> Open -> in lower
R corner change file type to .inp)? You will loose all the Wizard
information contained in your pd2 file, and have to redefine a
weather file and file path for project, but this would help
determine if the .pd2 file is corrupted. I can't racall if I have
ever had a pd2 file become corrupt, but this would be one way to
determine if it is indeed an issue with the pd2 file.<br>

<p class="MsoNormal">Oddest thing just happened to my baseline
model. Using equest 3.64 on a Windows 7 desktop. Naturally,
this happens the evening before my submittal deadline.<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">I was making edits in the envelope tab,
getting the U-values lined up with 90.1, and tried running the
model in all 4 orientations. Two orientations went normally,
and two did not - no cooling, heating or dom water gas use was
recorded, but the models ran to completion. I tried running
it again in all four orientations with no changes, and now the
model, for all four orientations, will complete the run but
will not calc the cooling, heating, or domestic hot water gas
use. The fan energy consumption is also inflated, as the fans
appear to be operating 24/7.<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">I then tried uninstalling 3.64 and
reinstalling a fresh copy, downloaded directly from the equest
website. The baseline model is still behaving in the same
fashion. I've tried running two other models, and their
output matches previous results, so it looks like a corruption
of this model rather than a problem with my computer or the
equest installation.<o:p></o:p></p>
