Thanks, Fred. Just as good if PVVT. Actually I was going to say PVVT but thought Mary said VAV and the tab's there for it, too. I would use it with advice from an engineer or really knowledgeable HVAC guy. Yeah, they are out there. <br>
<br>Prolific poster indeed! I offer my services to people for real money, too! I don't want to stand by a freeway with a will work for food sign. None of us does.<br><br>Good to hear from you. Apologies in advance for putting it back on line.<br>

<div>Carol, </div>
<div>You are quite the prolific poster! You might want to check your advice in this case. I think 95% of the time this type of RTU should be modeled as a PVVT, not PVAV. (I'm not sure the specific keywords are enabled unless PVVT is the system TYPE anyway.)</div>
<div> </div>
<div>It may be used with a few sub/slave zones with reheat it is not typically applied as a true VAV unit, but as a large heat/cool unit with variable flow and capacity responding to a single zone in various complicated ways. I've seen these RTUs applied to the main zones of big box stores. </div>

<div style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(5, 5, 5); padding-left: 7px;">Hi Mary,<br><br>Actually this is pretty easy. You can select packaged VAV as your system and then when you are in the detailed edit mode go to your HVAC tab, then to the Air-Side HVAC System Parameters tab, then to the cooling tab, and lastly to the Stages tab at the far right. That should work for you. If you have a ME that you are working with a few questions to her would help as to which option to choose. A good vendor can help with this, too.<br>
<br>Let us know if ya need any more help.<br><br>Regards,<br>Carol<br><br>

Do I handle that as a VAV or stick with constant volume and try and model it with schedules? And, yes, I’m an architect trying to do an engineer’s job, so be gentle with me. I’ve already learned so much from reading all of your posts over the last few months.</span></font></p>
