I think that perhaps both of us will benefit from studying the way that E+ accomplishes the mass balance in the zone! What you describe below is correct, as far as I know, but I do not know the details of how E+ goes about making or checking the air balance.
There’s a lot to learn!

Hi James, Thanks. I did this already and the simulation runs as expected. I'm just imagining a box zone where I've specified a Zone Equip Inlet node after the AirLoopSplitter as well as a Zone Return Outlet node as one of the inlet nodes for the Mixer on the exhaust side. so I imagine these nodes laying on the box boundry.
Then I imagine zone equipment as laying inside the box, which are normally connected to the nodes on the boundry of the box. Because, there is no mention of the equipment inlet nodes on the airloop, i assume e+ makes this connection automatically and the correct connection of the equipment (like a ATU) is made beca
