[EnergyPlus_Support] Re: PTHP serving two Zones

["careym.cosmaj" <mc@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Answering my own questions for the benefit of anyone else who reads
this .... talking to myself, am I mad yet?

The division of airflow is done within the DIRECT AIR objects

> Can I use a PTHP to serve multiple zones?

I dont believe so as there is no way of telling a
PACKAGEDTERMINAL:HEATPUMP:AIRTOAIR which zone temperature to control
from, while a UNITARYSYSTEM:HEATPUMP:AIRTOAIR can be told which zone
to use.

> How should I be defining (without autosizing) how much air goes into

DIRECT AIR objects

> Is there a more simplistic example than 5ZoneAutoDXVAV.idf to consult?

HeatPump.idf is a great start and UnitarySystem:HeatPump:AirToAir in
Input Ouput Ref is very insightful, pp 818, 823 and 824.
