There were two issues with your input file.  

First, the domestic hot water was being supplied by a fluid system of Type= Hot 
Water.  This should be Type = Service Hot Water.  Hot water is used for heating 
hot water.  

Second, you have a storage capacity of 0 gallons for your hot water heater.  A 
value of at least 1 is required.

When these two changes are made (see attached input file), a valid compliance 
run can be completed.  

However, you have all components in your model set with Status = Existing.  In 
this situation, the baseline is expected to match the proposed model, but this 
is not a case expected for compliance analysis.  However, it appears that there 
is a bug in the software, and the existing roof construction is not being 
applied to the baseline.  This situation will be investigated and a fix 
implemented for the first bug fix release, scheduled for November 14.
