<p class="MsoNormal">Good morning everyone.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">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.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">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.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Suggestions? <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Thank you very much in advance.<o:p></o:p></p>
