<p class="MsoNormal">Hello,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I am modeling a reference building with an HVAC system that requires baseboards with hot water.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">How do you handle the capacity? Is there a way to get eQuest to autosize the capacity? Or am I missing something.<o:p></o:p></p>
