[EnergyPlus_Support] Re: HVAC Node Flow Chart

["jipp06" <jippnojunk@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi, 
I would rephrase the question my way. Or maybe that is a different question! 

I have been using HVACTemplates and did not have to bother too much with nodes and air paths before. But now I would like to get to the next level. 
I would also need some assistance, with a tutorial or another mean, to understand how to layout an air path and nodes. Because there's more than what is represented on the svg file. I have tried to figure the way a basic example system is laid out but could not really grasp all the basics.

Need to understand the fundamentals of system input. Did I miss a section of the I/O manual?

thx
J-Philippe Beaulieu
