Hello All:

I have two questions for everyone:

1. I am modeling a block of buildings for LEED certification. These buildings are all served by a district plant. Should I model each building by itself, do the analysis individually and sum them up or should I import all the buildings into one EQUEST model and run the whole block at once?

2. When I import multiple buildings, I start getting an error for too many interior walls/exterior walls and so forth. Is there any way to override the maximum number?

Hello,

Can someone tell me the best way to set up an outside air pretreating system? I have a dummy zone set up and my OA-FROM-SYSTEM is already applied. I need to cool the air to 75F which is then sent to the indoor air conditioners that cool it to 55F. My problem is that I keep getting umet cooling load hours with the OA system even when I oversize the cooling coil. What is the best system type to use? PSZ? How can I maintain this temperature even if it's not 75 ( I know the cooling supply maximum is 70). Thank you for any help.
