I have a multi-split air system (VRF) model in a idf file, with one outdoor unit and several indoor units. What I would like to do is to disconnect or turn off one of the indoor units.

Thanks in advance. Laia

I'm not looking at the object, but I think you can set the fan to cycle (as opposed to continuous operation). With intermittent operation, one simple solution would be to change the zone setpoint several degrees. If the zone temperature setpoint is satisfied, it will never operate.
