Modeling Questions

Hi,

A few questions I have regarding my trace model:

1) If a space have several fan coil units served by a chiller, do I
have to create each FCU as a separate system? (i.e. FCU-1, FCU-2,
etc...)

2) The building I'm modeling has a hot water boiler that pretty
much runs year round with a relatively flat natural gas profile (reheat
coils, etc)....but Trace seems to be simulating boiler system heating
with a typical heating season profile (winter peaking). How do I model
this so that it reflects boiler operation year round (to coincide with
actual natural gas bills)?

Thanks in advance.
