<p class=MsoNormal>I cannot seem to find a comparable system in eQUEST to model
a VRF system with dedicated ventilation. My typical system for each floor
consists of approximately 10 indoor units per outdoor condensing unit. Each
indoor unit can heat or cool as needed regardless of what the other units on
the same loop are requesting. The closest I can find is a split system
heat pump, but this will give me too many outdoor units and a larger total
connected tonnage since it will not take credit for the inverter compressor technology.
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>In addition I cannot figure out which system to select
for the Ventilation Unit. I have Dx cooling (with dehumidification
ability) and gas heat to deliver 75 degrees directly to the plenum return or the
indoor units themselves. All I can find is a makeup air unit that needs a
space thermostat which I do not have. Any response would be appreciated.<o:p></o:p></p>
