Re: [EnergyPlus_Support] COMPACT HVAC:SYSTEM:VAV
Yes, you can delete the COMPACT HVAC:PLANT:* objects and run EnergyPlus to
generate the expanded system description (expidf output file). Note that this
will have fatal errors in EnergyPlus because there are no plant connections for
the chilled water coil. Then take the expidf file and rename it to a new name
as an idf file. The 5ZoneAutoDXVAV.idf example file provides an example of
using DX cooling in a VAV system.
