Re: [EnergyPlus_Support] About the compact module

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

In some cases this can be done with some care to match node names and component 
names.  It is possible to use COMPACT HVAC ZONES and then add air loops and 
plant loops using the general HVAC ojbects.  And it is possible to use COMPACT 
HVAC ZONES and SYSTEMS and then add general plant loops.  But it is not 
possible to do the reverse such as general zones and systems served by a 
COMPACT HVAC PLANT.  

To mix the two types of input, one must study the expidf file and learn what 
objects are created for each COMPAC HVAC object and to see what the 
automatically generated node names and component names are.  Then general HVAC 
objects can be added to match.

An easier approach may be to use the COMPACT HVAC objects which most closely 
desribe the desired system, and then edit the expidf file as needed.
