could set your capcities to zero. However, if this is for a LEED model, beware
of the fact that ASHRAE 90.1 (1999 or 2004, take your pick) requires you to
model a code equivalent system whenever a cooling or heating system does not
exist in the actual design. In order to minimize the impact on your overall
energy consumption you could set schedules for the summer months in which the
temperature of the building is allowed to increase to limits not acceptable
during the normal conditioning hours, turn fans off, and alter the
fraction/multiplier for internal loads such as lighting and misc equipment. This
would be a truly representative case as less lighting, computers, etc will be
active.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

use VAV systems without cooling for schools -- 100% outside
air economizer cooling, and 'off' for three months in the summer.
The particular system I want to model in eQuest<SPAN

standard VAV with heat recovery, but I can't figure how to either define
it without a cooling coil, or render the cooling coil and chiller
ineffective.</FONT></FONT></FONT></SPAN></DIV>
