[EnergyPlus_Support] Modelling Simple Heating and Ventilation Equipment

["brandao_nuno" <ncostab@xxxxxxxxx>]

Dear All,

I´m simulating a small buiding with heating and ventilation only
requirements. The system consists of two inlet air flow ventilators,
each coupled with one heating coil. A boiler supplies hot water to the
 heating coils and hot water radiators(multiple radiators distributed
to a total of four zones). My questions are as follow:

1. The systems does not recirculate the air, so I don´t need an air
mixer. Is it possible to simulate the two fans(summing the total of
the two individual fans capacity - the same for the heating coils) as
one in an only air primary loop?

2. Which is the best choice for simulating the system? Single
Duct:Const Volume:Reheat coupled with a fan or a Direct Air System
coupled with a heating coil and a fan? Are these solutions possible?

3. Is it possible to simulate multiple hot water radiators as one big
for each of the four zones? Each zone as a total of four hot water
radiators.

Thanks in advance
Nuno Brandao
