> We have a LEED project in the center of Berlin for which I need to 
> perform a LEED Compliance analysis (LEED V3.0). We have chosen to use 
> eQUEST 3.64 as it can generate automatically the reference building 
> (baseline). I have read the eQUEST introductory tutorial as well as 
> the LEED tutorial.

> I have built my building model (7 storey-building + 2 basement 
> floors, compact shape and quite simple layout) using the SD wizard 
> than the DD wizard and finally twicking my HVAC inputs in the 
> detailed mode. I have managed to run a simulation after correcting my 
> BDL errors, however I cannot run a LEED Compliance analysis (generate 
> baseline building), since it fails in the pre-check stages.

>  The reason is I have not entered a longitude and latitude for 
> Berlin! I have desperately tried to enter one but the input cell 
> won't let me (the cells are colored in white but when I type a figure 
> there, the software doesn't hold the value down...same for the

> Latitude for Berlin is 52.47 N, and latitude is 13.4 E therefore the 
> input should be +52.47 and -13.4?

> I have generated a Berlin weather file using an Energy plus weather 
> file and converting it. <<ScreenShot019.jpg>>  <<DEU_Berlin_IWEC.BIN>>
>
> I attach a screenshot of the error message as well as my weather 
> file. Maybe I am making a basic mistake and someone could point me
