<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 color=navy face=Arial><span style='font-size:
10.0pt;font-family:Arial;color:navy'>Where there are two systems serving a
single zone, see if you can model the zone as two separate zones. For example,
something I have done to handle a spot cooler in a hot room is to create a “dummy”
room of negligible floor area that has only the sensible cooling load
(computers or whatever) and nothing else. Perhaps you could make it a tiny
interior corner of the “real” room. Then I assign this “dummy”
room to the spot cooler. The “real” room has all the other loads (envelope
exposure, people, etc.) and is on the main air system. I keep the thermostat
settings the same in both. This approach works well if you can easily separate loads
within the room. <o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
