[Equest-users] Space Heat Output

Does anyone know why I cannot model a VAV AHU with a steam loop/boiler 
for space heat?

It is a central AHU with zone boxes, therefore I am modeling (1) 
Air-Side HVAC System.

When reviewing the output consumption using this configuration I do not 
see any energy consumption for space heat, but when I switch to a 
furnace instead of the steam I am able to produce logical /practical 
consumption numbers. What am I doing wrong?

Thank you in advance.
