Revision history [back]

E+ 8.9.0 recently added a new field to the ZoneHVAC:EquipmentList, that is Load Distribution Scheme.

This field isn't exposed in OpenStudio (neither the OS App nor the SDK), so it will just default to SequentialLoad, which happens to be exactly what you need it to be.

You need to properly define the equipment priorities though: you want the radiant to be 1 and the VRF to be 2.

In the OS Application, the priority is defined by the order in which you added the equipment. In the SDK (ie in a script or a measure), it's easy to change the priority for a given equipment.
