RE: [EnergyPlus_Support] Building of eight plans

["Richard J. Liesen" <r-liesen@xxxxxxxx>]

The zone multiplier takes the load calculated by the zone that is described 
and passes it to the system which in your case would be 6 times.  What I am 
wondering is if you specified the system to handle 6 times the load?  If 
you are not using an autosized system then you would have to increase its 
capacity accordingly ie. air flow, component sizes, etc.  What it looks 
like to me is that you increased the zone multiplier and the existing 
system took that multiplied and did what it could.

Can you shed some light on this issue?

Thanks Richard Liesen
