    Filippo and Jean,<br>
      My approach to autosizing has been to run the building model in
    energy rate control with no setups or setbacks in the thermostat and
    to records the maximum hourly value of the QSENS NTYPE from Type56.
    This gives you the peak hourly sensible heating and cooling load for
    each zone in the building and is very similar to the autosizing that
    other programs do. You can then change the building back to a
    temperature level control simulation and use the peak heating and
    cooling loads to choose equipment. Be careful that you're sizing the
    cooling equipment based on a sensible demand not based on total
    cooling demand.<br>
    kind regards,<br>

              Simulating the 90.1 Appendix G baseline systems almost
            always involves the use of multiple Types. If you have
            questions about a particular baseline system, please tell me
            which one and I can probably give you some guidance. For the
            most part the TESS HVAC library contains the components that
            you would need. We do have a VAV air handler component that
            I have used for LEED simulations although it is not
            officially part of either the standard library or the TESS
            Libraries.<br>
            <br>
              As far as the files that you need to submit along with
            your LEED forms, in my experience this is a bit of a
            guessing game between you and the reviewer. TRNSYS does not
            have the kind of standardized forms that LEED reviewers are
            used to. I usually submit the *.dck and the *.b17. In
            general I use a Type46 (printegrator) to generate one or
            more output files the contain the monthly power draw of all
            the active components of the systems (fans, pumps,
            compressors, heaters, etc.). I then put the contents of
            those files into a spreadsheet that I submit to the
            reviewer.<br>

              Hi everybody,<br>
                      has anyone experience LEED simulation in TRNSYS
              17?<br>
              <br>
              I have two questions:<br>
              1. is there any specific type developed, or a guideline,
              to simulate HVAC plant according to appendix G ASHRAE
              90.1;<br>
              2. what are the files that needs to be attached to the
              LEED PI form? Is there any type or procedure guide to
