[Equest-users] Equipment Sizing

[Carol Gardner]

Michael,

IMHO, you were right in the first place: input the Btuh numbers for the *
systems* using the heating and cooling tabs, *System* sizes are not zone
inputs and I don't know how it was that you could even see any numbers on
your zone screens. For my building that uses heat pumps, the sizes
*only*show up on the Air-Side HVAC System screens under heating and
cooling.

Now, others can agree or disagree with me. If anyone is willing to speak to
total vs sensible please do as you will no doubt do it better than I.

Cheers,
Carol
