<DIV>Yes, you certainly can have those seven shells. But you will also have the eighth shell where the central plant is. eQuest does not care where the plant is, but what is connected to it. Do no concern yourself with where the plant resides, but what is connected to it.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>BTW, does the plant have its own electric and gas meters? You can worry about what meters go to what buildings in the Detailed Edit Mode, if you are trying to match bills.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>This sounds like an interesting project, such as a campus or hospital complex.</DIV>

<P class=MsoNormal>I surmise that all eight buildings are on the central plant with the chillers and boilers you describe. eQuest doesn't know that your 8 buildings are separate buildings, just more zones. I would describe your zones (in the Detailed Edit mode) such as "Building 1-North Zone" or "Building 8-Lobby" and put all the zones on one massive CHW and HHW loop.</P></DIV>

<P class=MsoNormal>I have a building complex consisting of 8 buildings. In one of the buildings are the boiler and chiller that service all of the building through various pipes. The other buildings don’t have their own boiler and chiller. How do I model this into eQuest?</P>
