Townhouses aren't supposed to be combined in HOT2000, they're supposed to be modelled individually, and so there would be relatively low limits on mechanical sizing. The exception would be if the townhomes are stacked (units separated horizontally), then you could model them as one building, using the MURB feature available in HOT2000v11.5 and higher. That would allow for larger HVAC equipment sizes.
