furnace help for pay

Gentlemen & Ladies,

I am asking for one hour of someone’s time, for which I will gladly pay, to assist me in getting a furnace to work for a one zone/one space building model. I have spent a couple of days trying to get a successful run to no avail. After fiddling with some controls that I thought would provide a thermostat and air flow, I did get a successful run - for electricity only. The furnace fan runs but no gas is consumed while it runs. The errors saying that there is no thermostat and no air flow are still in the output log.

I am not a newbie at this. Three years ago I used energy plus to evaluate a LEED certified building in Chicago. At that time the HVAC component of the software was not quite ready for prime time, but one fellow working with NREL at that time was very helpful in getting a much more complex HVAC system to work.

So, I’m just asking for help with getting a furnace template to work. It really should not be this complicated.

I am working on a real project that has a completion date this Friday. So I am really in need. My contact information is below.

Thank you for what you can do.
