[EnergyPlus_Support] Modelling a VAV Chilled Beam System

Hi Team,

So, the problem is that I want to model a Chilled Beam system using AirTerminal:SingleDuct:ConstantVolume:CooledBeam. Clearly there's an inherent problem as the Cooled (Chilled) Beam is set for constant volume.

So I was wondering if I could combine two Zone HVAC Air Loop Terminal Units in a zone, i.e. one is the CooledBeam (with 0 design air flow rate) and the other is a SingleDuct:VAV:NoReheat.

Presuming I get all the right airflow network objects in order and correctly describe all the nodes, would this work? Can I have more than one terminal unit per zone? Would the CooledBeam object still provide any cooling with 0 airflow rate?

Any thoughts and insights are welcome.

Thanks,
Matt
