You may need to change that as well as changing the terminal units. I don’t think any of us can say make a universal statement that FPTUs are more or less efficient than plain VAVs. There are a lot of variables there including climate, fan system power,
hours of operation, set back behavior, type and efficiency of the heating source, etc, etc.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";color:#274E13">Hello Bill,<br>
Thank you so much for reviewing the model. Since I am not familiar with energy performance of different terminal boxes was wondering if my selection was correct. The mechanical drawings include diagram bellow for VAV terminal and a schedule titled “Fan Powered
Terminal unit Schedule” that marks DTQS as the model of terminal boxes. Manufacturer’s (Titus) literature indicates DTQS as a Digital Series Fan Powered Terminal and very energy efficient.</span><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#274E13"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="background-image:initial;background-position:initial;background-size:initial;background-repeat:initial;background-origin:initial;background-clip:initial">
<span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";color:#274E13">My first question is if selecting Series PIU is a correct selection for the proposed terminal. If yes, then my second question would be the energy performance of Series PIU terminals
vs Std VAV terminals. Keeping everything equal, when I change terminal types from Std VAV to Series PIU the annual energy costs increase, which indicates Std VAV terminal is more energy efficient than Series PIU terminal. Is this correct?</span><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#274E13"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
