<div class=yiv1173809041MsoNormal>Hi,</div>
<div class=yiv1173809041MsoNormal> </div>
<div class=yiv1173809041MsoNormal>I have made the mistake of setting up 3 different zones for what should be a single zone with a constant volume AHU system. Currently 2 of the three zones are on the 3<SUP>rd</SUP> Floor, and the other zone is on the Second Floor. I was wondering if there is a way I can join these three zones, or if there is an alternative way to model this system? </div>
