Re: [EnergyPlus_Support] choice of heating system

["Michael J. Witte" <mjwitte@xxxxxxxx>]

Ben:

Advice on selecting HVAC systems is really outside the scope of this 
group.  Perhaps someone could suggest an HVAC design group to post 
the question to.

Once you have decided what types of systems you wish to compare, we 
will be glad to help you with any questions on how to model them in 
EnergyPlus.
