Modeling incremental HVAC units

I am new to eQuest, and I would like to model a building that primarily
uses 'through-the-wall' incremental HVAC units for heating/cooling with DX
coils for cooling and hot water coils for heating. I didn't see an explicit
option for this configuration in the list of System Types. Any tips for
modeling this system? Thanks

Erik,

This is the PTAC (Packaged Terminal Air Conditioner) type. In the "Heating" tab of the System Parameters, you will choose "Hot Water Loop" as the "Heat Source" (see enclosed illustration).

You will have to define a hot water loop in the "Water-Side HVAC" tab.

HTH,

Demba.

Hi Erik and welcome to the forum (and the war..)
?
Try PSZ (Package single zone). It can do all that you are asking.
