Hi Damon,<br>
After figuring a little out about your location and basic climate
and what your company does I would think electric baseboard or
single/multizone electric AHU. It is about the simplest form eQuest
will run in and will interface with solar PV. You need a tally
system for the thermal black box that represents your building.
eQuest will let you roast in your black box but is resistant to
letting you freeze. You also need to know the magnitudes of your
over and under points of your temperature set point. The simplest
way is electric baseboard. It will interface with heat/cool
recovery, ventilation only cooling and let you know what the
exterior loads are doing to your building.<br>
Stay in the wizards and do lots of saving of files so you have a
progression of points to drop back too as you sort out the
building. Keep the glass as just wall area fraction to start. You
might not be able to do a perimeter/central zone setup but that is
where you are headed as you are mostly going to be dealing with the
solar load.<br>
As I type this I realize you should have an AHU and baseboards, all
electric heat. Your AHU will give you general heat and the
baseboards will make up for zone deficiencies and give you an idea
of the differentials in your perimeter zones on the heating side.<br>
