John,<div><br></div><div>With a system with heating-type = FURNACE, I add a pre-heat coil of type = FURNACE and the total heating energy use drops from 900 MBTU to 50 MBTU, yet there are no unmet load hours.  </div><div><br>
</div><div>I don't see how the system could be meeting the loads yet using no energy.  If I look at the SS-B report there is a fractional use of energy for preheat.</div><div><br></div><div><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-top:1.0pt">
