Re: [EnergyPlus_Support] New to the program...

[Linda Lawrie <linda@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

We suggest, for people who want to enter more complexities
to:

a) Start with HVACTemplates -- these will automatically create the
correct nodes and loops.  Then, you can modify once you have the
basic start.

b) look at one of the example files that might suit your building. 
-- e.g. the Benchmark files for Restaurant or whatever.

c) use the example file generator to generate a building that could be
similar -- these can be complex builidngs.  (all the benchmarks
started out being built from the EEFG).  It will have all the
correct nodes in place.

Hope this helps jump start your cause.
