[EnergyPlus_Support] Re: Two AHUs for a zone

I would think you could juice the dual duct object to operate like this but it would probably take a considerable amount of effort.

Is it possible? How should I specify the ZoneHVAC:Equipmentconnections? Should I specify the two inlet nodes in the same nodelist? Should the "zone retuen air node name" be the same for the two systems?
