<p class="MsoNormal">Hi eQuesters,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I found an old thread that said that multiple zones in eQuest could not be “grouped” under one system (PSZ- Sys4) and be considered one thermal block. Is this regardless of whether the zones are identical/ have the same uses? Where is this
 in the manuals? <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">My LEED reviewer has mentioned (several times) that I need to have individual systems for each of the zones below (as I am using Sys4), however I’ve assumed these zones as a thermal block under Table G3.1 #7 (they are all plant rooms w/o
 glazing) and I’m still getting the same comments… 90.1’s definition of thermal block says they do not need to be contiguous in order to make a thermal block so I did not think there would be a problem in assuming these zones as a thermal block.   <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Any thoughts on this?<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Many thanks in advance, <o:p></o:p></p>
