Re: [EnergyPlus_Support] Combiining systems to manage zone temperature

[fred buhl <wfbuhl@xxxxxxx>]

This should work. There is a known (soon to be fixed!) sizing issue when 
zone equipment
are used in conjunction with a central forced air system. Could your 
baseboards simple lack
capacity? Try jacking up the UA and the max water flow rate.
