[Hap-users] HAP VAV Heating question

[Aaron Smith]

Admed,

The option isn't there for VAV because you typically don't want to have
central heating from a single duct VAV system - if you did you would lose
the option of providing simultaneous cooling in some zones and heating in
others.  If you didn't plan on having simultaneous heating and cooling,
there is a type of system called VVT (Variable Volume and Temperature) which
switches back and forth, I think they are only used on smaller projects
because you sacrifice a level of comfort.  

I think a more common type of system today would be a true VAV system with a
separate perimeter heating system either through baseboard heaters or
fan-powered boxes these options are available when VAV is selected.

Regards,
Aaron

Hello,

When I choose VAV system type in HAP, I get 3 options which are VAV, 1 Fan
Dual Duct VAV and 2 Fan Dual Duct VAV.

I want to design a VAV system but with central cooling AND heating. When I
use VAV, it doesn't give me the option to use central heating and I'm forced
to use a VAV box with reheat instead. Is there any work around this?

Can I add the total of the terminal heating coil for each zone and just
place a central heating coil with the same amount?

Thanks in advance.
