Combining Equipment Capacities?

1 post / 0 new

I'm working on an energy model for a building that has several rooms with multiple heat pumps.

There's a total of about 100 heat pumps in the building, all are the same capacity, all in similar room types. When creating plants for these, would it be appropriate to consolidate the capacities of multiple heat pumps and treat it as one? For example, have one piece of equipment represent ~10 heat pumps, and just combine the capacity and kW? So I would end up with 10 heat pumps under a single 'Heat Pumps' plant to represent all 100 heat pumps?
