[EnergyPlus_Support] Re: is it possible to model 2 air loops



Hello,

I tried to connect the loops as you suggest but it does not seem to
work the way I want it: I would like to have the possibility that the
main loop has two outside air nodes: one representing the real outside
air (fresh air) and the second one representing the outlet air node of
the other loop. Somehow I should need an additional inlet node on the
Heat Recovery Unit or in the Mixing Box. 
Any other suggestions?

Tks,
Santiago
