Re: [EnergyPlus_Support] HVAC Split System - more than one in a single zone?



The term split unit refers to VFR systems, not unitary systems. You can't model more than one AirLoop per zone, but you can model more than one zone equipment. Split your thinking into
1) how does fresh air get into the zone
2) how is the zone cooled

1) uses an airloop or a ventilation object (window?)
2) uses mainly the indoor units of the VRF system which recirculate zone air through their coils to cool the zone

 

Hello everybody!


I'm new to all this energy modeling thing and I'm having a hard time trying to model my HVAC system :/ 

The model is for my project in University and it is from a real building, where I'm going to study the economic benefits of implementing a green roof. 


The problem is: the building is full of Split Air-Systems! 


I already know that to model that in E+ I need: 


 - HVACTemplate: Thermostat

 - HVACTemplate:System:Unitary

 - HVACTemplate:Zone:Unitary


But...there is more than one Split AC in each zone, and I can't figure it out how to reference that single zone in multiple systems - I keep getting errors about that.


Is there a way to have more than one AC in a single zone? 


Thanks!
