1. Lower the Space temperature to 68F.
2. Using the FPH system in eQUEST. This doesn't allow for cooling
however, and uses no fans (we still have air supply in our building).=20
3. Andrew Craig suggested inputting the capacity of the radiant system
as an internal energy source. (This is great because it allows the fans
to cycle on/off and maintains the cooling side. It doesn't calculate
heating loads on the radiant slab though)

What I plan to do is use the FPH system and setback the thermostat to
68F in these spaces. This will allow me to calculate the heating energy
on the radiant coil. I then plan to use Andrew's "internal energy
source" method to calculate the airside system loads, and add the FPH
heat load to that.=20

Does this seem like a reasonable method to model this?
