Dear Joe and Nimesh,<div><br></div><div>Thank you very much for the answers. I have followed the methodology described step by step (in fact it was the same I followed from previous emails) and still the same problem. Just if I put the equest program in Documents/Equest 3-64 data I have a variation in the problem, not a solution. In this case the message is: -7.3 is not a valid floating point value......snif snif.</div>
<div><br></div><div>I have tried to put the program in different places (C/Program archives x86/Equest 3-64, and in Documents/Equest 3-64 data) , as well as the input and output weather files....without any positive result.</div>
<div><br></div><div>Joe, it would be possible to have the .bin file for Madrid, please? It is my first project with Equest and I have already problems with modelisation of ground geothermnal heatpumps and comparison of resuts with LEED baseline. So many problems!, and not really a big budget. It would help me a lot since I do not find the solution.  </div>
<div><br></div><div>Thanks a lot,</div><div><br></div><div>Marcel</div><div><br><div class="gmail_quote">2012/10/6 Nimesh Prajapati <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:nimesh@engineersaid.com" target="_blank">nimesh@engineersaid.com</a>></span><br>
