<p class=MsoNormal>Hello, everyone.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>I've got a question that I've never been clear on and
figured I'd turn to the experts (you all).<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>In appendix G, Table G3.1.1b, it's stated that all
conditioned spaces shall be modeled as being both heated and cooled, even if no
cooling systems exists, for both the proposed and baseline buildings.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>We typically place Cabinet Unit Heaters in stairways and
vestibules, and don't worry about cooling those spaces. So, my question
is, though TRACE has a couple "Heating only" systems options,
Appendix G says that these cannot be selected. So, what is a common
solution? The other systems in the building are VAV, so, can those spaces
just be grouped on to there?<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>Thanks for any advice you'd have!<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
