Re: [EnergyPlus_Support] separate heating system

[Fred Buhl <wfbuhl@xxxxxxx>]

Is it no air you want, or no ventilation air through the hot water coils?

1) no air - you'll have to use baseboard heaters

2) no ventilation air - you can use fan coils and set the outside air
to zero.

Most hot water heating equipment in EnergyPlus uses forced air to deliver
the heating effect. Baseboards are the main exception; of course there are
various radiant systems.
