[EnergyPlus_Support] Re: AirTerminal:SingleDuct:VAV:NoReheat



I have verified that i cannot create a AirTerminal:Singleduct:VAV:NoReheat to get zone temperatures in between 20/25 ºC. I have to define a controller to the heating and cooling coils (both water) of the air handeling unit then that makes me define setpoint air temperatures of the air entering the zone. 
Even if i delete the heat coil controller, the zone temperature in winter does not reach 20ºC.

Basically I want to simulate an Air Handeling Unit with pre-heat, cooling and heating coil (all water), mixing box and a variable fan. No terminal reheating.

What option must i choose? 
Air:Terminal:SingleDuct:Uncontrolled?? if i choose this i think i cannot define de airBranch;
Or should i look into NaturalVentilationAndDuctLeakage for the system? but this does not allow the choise of a variable fan.


Thank-you
