Re: [EnergyPlus_Support] Re: Preconditioning Air to FCU



I had wanted to do something like this previously and could not find any example files of this type.

But as Mr. Dirkes says, I just settled to do it separately thinking its the same thermodynamically and energy consumption - wise.

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.
