fairly new at using eQuest but it is my understanding that the modeling of VRF
system in eQuest is not supported but was to be updated in the near
future. California uses a software package called EnergyPro which just
added the capability of modeling VRF systems. You should be able to
connect with them through their website at <a href="http://www.energysoft.com">www.energysoft.com</a>.

<p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";color:#333399'>I
am modeling new office building for LEED certification .Our proposed mechanical
design is “Variable Refrigerant” split systems for the
heating/cooling. We will have decoupled OA, and are planning on having
DOAS units located in the attic. Is it possible to model a VRF system in
eQuest? If yes, how it is done? If it can’t be done in eQuest, tell us
any other energy modelling software to model it.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
