[EnergyPlus_Support] CompactVAV system Heating Coil not sizing



I am trying to use a compact system desciption to define a basic VAV
system for a residential type building.  After running this file the
designed heating capacity is zero.  Cooling seems fine.  Does any one
have any suggestions to what might be wrong?
(schedules, zones, etc. should be fine)

Thanks, 
Neal
