[EnergyPlus_Support] Re: Preconditioning Air to FCU

["luke_dorna" <luke.dorna@xxxxxxxxx>]

I looked through the example file list. There is both a DOAS with FCU and a DOAS with WSHP. However, both of them have OA into zone instead of into the zone unit. 

I thought about attempting to connect the DOAS outlet into the FCU mixing box, but putting a node that isn't an outdoorair:node on the outdoor air inlet would probably kick back an error.
