HVAC Split System - More than one in a single unit?

Hello everybody!

I'm new to all this energy modeling thing and I'm having a hard time trying to model my HVAC system :/ The model is for my project in University and it is from a real building, where I'm going to study the economic benefits of implementing a green roof.

The problem is: the building is full of Split Air-Systems!

I already know that to model that in E+ I need:

  • HVACTemplate: Thermostat
  • HVACTemplate:System:Unitary
  • HVACTemplate:Zone:Unitary

But...there is more than one Split AC in each zone, and I can't figure it out how to reference that single zone in multiple systems - I keep getting errors about that.

Is there a way to have more than one AC in a single zone?

Thanks!
