[Bldg-sim] EQuest Plenums: One per shell vs. One per zone

[Molly Curtz]

Hi All, 
 
I got a tip from someone and figured out my question.  In case anyone
else is curious: changing the setting in the HVAC wizard from "One
system per floor" to "One system per zone" created a plenum for each
zone.
 
Cheers,

Subject: [Bldg-sim] EQuest Plenums: One per shell vs. One per zone


I have an eQuest model built up using the Design Development Wizard.
Looking at the Component tree, most of the shells have one plenum zone
for the entire floor. However, some of the shells have many plenum
zones;they have a separate plenum zone matching each of the occupied
space zones in the shell. 
 
I'm not aware of any difference in the way I constructed the various
shells.
 
Can anyone explain why the Wizard sometimes builds a single plenum for
the shell and sometimes builds a plenum for each zone within the shell?
 
I'd like to be able to choose between these options. Thanks for any help
you can offer!
 
Best regards,
 
Molly Curtz
