HVAC Doubts - My model

Hi!

Again I'm here with some doubts. I want to model a real building (in E+), simulate a green roof on it and see the amount of kWh that I can reduce in my consumption. The problem is: I have a lot of zones (each zone is a room or a piece of a room) and in some of them I have like 20 Split ACs. I tried to model the zones with more than one AC (I used an Window AC to test it) but I always have to say that they are staged...when they actually aren't, so....

  1. Is there a way to model the same type of equipment inside the same zone but working at the same time, not staged?
  2. If there is not and I need to model as one HUGE AC, how can I do it? Can I still evaluate the kWh when I do this?

Thanks!
