<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">I have a few stairwells and vestibules which will be served by radiant heaters with no cooling. Hot water supplied by the boiler.</FONT></P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">So, now I need to make up a pretend cooling system. (This what I did for the actual building not the baseline) </FONT>
</P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">Here is how I did it. (Is this valid?) </FONT>
</P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">I selected a Single Zone System (which will end up matching my baseline according to Appendix G system type).</FONT>
</P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">Under "Options" tab I select "Advanced Options". In Advanced Options under "Auxiliary Coil / fan control methods" I set the Auxiliary heating coil to Wall Convertor. (This will simulate the radiant heaters.)</FONT></P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">Under the "Fans" tab I set the Auxiliary fan type to "No fan energy consumed" since the radiant heater doesn't have a fan.</FONT></P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">Under the "Coils" tab I set the Main heating and Preheat coils to 0% and the Auxiliary heating to 100%. (Since all the heating should be done by the radiant heaters.)</FONT></P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">I created one such system for each stairwell and vestibule. (I do not want anything to be common between them)</FONT>
</P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">In the "Assign Systems to Plants" I assigned the heating coils to the boiler (The actual radiant heaters will be fed from the boiler)</FONT></P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">I made an Air cooled Unitary plant and added the main cooling coils to it. (This will give me a value to compare to the baseline)</FONT></P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">Since LEED insists that I make up numbers, I was wondering if this sounds like a valid way to make a pretend system.</FONT>
