<p class=MsoNormal>I have a question regarding HVAC system types in
eQuest.  My baseline building is modeled as a <u>packaged variable volume
system</u> (It is a System 5) while my design building is mostly modeled as a
bunch of <u>packaged single zone systems</u>.  For some reason I am
getting a 70% reduction in gas consumption, even thought my efficiencies are
pretty similar.  This reduction seems unreasonable.  Is there
something about the <u>packaged variable volume system</u>  in eQuest that
I don’t know about?  What type of system do people usually use for a
system 5?<o:p></o:p></p>
