The purchased air is an independent way to cool/heat the space. It
should not be used with other explicitly defined systems such as
radiant system. I do not agree to edit the weather file is a correct
way to do it. Actually, the weather file tell you that you cannot let
your radiant system on all the time. This will generate problems such
as condensation.
