In the DD Wizard, create the air-side systems, then go into each shell and on Screen 14 you can assign an HVAC air system to each zone group. Look for “HVAC System:” near the center of the screen and select the appropriate system from the drop-down menu. If Screen 14 is not available, go to Screen 13 and check the box for “Show Zone Group Screen.”<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D'>The detail mode is a more advanced user interface of the program that gives you access to more features and inputs. It’s sometimes called the detailed interface. If you click on Mode in the toolbar you can see if you are in “Wizard Data Edit” or “Detailed Data Edit.” To switch to detailed data edit mode, click on “Detailed Data Edit” under Mode. A word of caution…If you later find that you need to go back into the wizard (some things are easier to do in a wizard) you will lose all changes that you made in the detailed interface. If your changes in the detailed interface are rather simple, you can redo them fairly quickly. I often make a list of changes that I make in the detailed interface just in case I need to redo them after going back into the wizard. If the changes are more significant, you could save separate files for the wizard and the detailed interface and then use a text comparison software like WinMerge to move text from one .inp file to the other.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><div><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";color:#1F497D'>________________________________</span><span style='color:#1F497D'><o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'><ns0:PersonName><span style='color:#1F497D'>Keith Swartz</span></ns0:PersonName><span style='color:#1F497D'>, P.E., LEED AP</span></span><span style='color:#1F497D'><o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";color:#1F497D'><br>Energy Engineer / Senior Project Manager<br></span><b><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'><ns0:PlaceName><span style='color:#1F497D'>Energy</span></ns0:PlaceName><span style='color:#1F497D'> </span><ns0:PlaceType><span style='color:#1F497D'>Center</span></ns0:PlaceType><span style='color:#1F497D'> of </span><ns0:place><ns0:State><span style='color:#1F497D'>Wisconsin</span><span style='color:#1F497D;font-weight:normal'><br></span><span style='font-weight:normal'></ns0:State></span></ns0:place></span></b><ns0:Street><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'><ns0:address><span style='color:#1F497D'>455 Science Drive, Suite 200, </span></ns0:address></ns0:Street></span><ns0:place><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'><ns0:City><span style='color:#1F497D'>Madison</span></ns0:City><span style='color:#1F497D'>, </span><ns0:State><span style='color:#1F497D'>WI</span></ns0:State><span style='color:#1F497D'> </span><ns0:PostalCode><span style='color:#1F497D'>53711<br></span></ns0:PostalCode></ns0:place></span><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";color:#1F497D'>Phone: 608.238.8276 x123<br>Fax: 608.238.0523<br><br></span><b><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";color:#1F497D'>The Buildings Team</span></b><span style='color:#1F497D'><o:p></o:p></span></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal><i><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";color:#1F497D'>Design decisions through energy, economics and emissions analysis.</span></i><span style='color:#1F497D'><o:p></o:p></span></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";color:#1F497D'><a href="http://www.ecw.org/Buildings">www.ecw.org/Buildings</a> <o:p></o:p></span></p></div><p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:#1F497D'><br></span><b><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'><ns0:place><ns0:PlaceName><span style='color:#1F497D'>Energy</span></ns0:PlaceName><span style='color:#1F497D'> </span><ns0:PlaceType><span style='color:#1F497D'>Center</span></ns0:PlaceType><span style='color:#1F497D'> </span><ns0:PlaceType><span style='color:#1F497D'>University<br></span></ns0:PlaceType></ns0:place></span></b><i><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";color:#1F497D'>Your gateway to sustainable design training and online education programs.<br></span></i><span style='color:#1F497D'><a href="http://www.ecw.org/university/" title="http://www.ecw.org/university/"><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'>www.ecw.org/university/</span></a></span><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D'><o:p></o:p></span></p><div style='border:none;border-top:solid #B5C4DF 1.0pt;padding:3.0pt 0in 0in 0in'><p class=MsoNormal><b><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Tahoma","sans-serif"'>From:</span></b><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Tahoma","sans-serif"'> Roger Maranan [mailto:gedo.maranan@gmail.com] <br><b>Sent:</b> Thursday, July 14, 2011 10:26 AM<br><b>To:</b> Charles Land<br><b>Cc:</b> equest-users@lists.onebuilding.org<br><b>Subject:</b> Re: [Equest-users] Air Handler Per Floor<o:p></o:p></span></p></div><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Sorry, when you say "make the changes in detail mode" what do you mean exactly?
