&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; In Energy Plus you could put a purchased air node on the EAT and
then discount it via its separate <br>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; meter after the run is done....<br>

This is very difficult and may not lead to the correct results, but one
method would be to manually edit the weather file.&nbsp; You would need to
change the temperatures so that the outdoor air that is pulled into the
system would be at the temperature of the earthduct preconditioned
air.&nbsp; However, I would not recommend doing this without testing to see
how it changes the other aspects of the simulation.<br>
  <br>
I have seen earthducts modeled correctly in both MATLAB and TRNSYS but
I have not successfully modeled it within eQuest.<br>
