[Trace-users] VAV System Modeling for LEED

[Rafael Carrero]

Good morning everyone.
I am modeling a building with 2 DX VAV rooftop units with electric heat. These rooftops serve VAV terminals (on interior spaces) and series fan terminals serving the perimeter. When I try to model this simple system on TRACE, I can select either a Series Fan-Powered VAV system, in which ALL the terminals will have fans, or a Variable Volume system, in which NONE of the terminals will have fans.

I can not model my RTU as it if was 2 RTUs, one for the interior with VAV terminals and one for the perimeter, with FTUs. This would defeat the whole purpose of having a VAV system, as the interior spaces would be most likely a constant volume.

Suggestions?
Thank you very much in advance.
