Hi everyone, I'm new to OS and Energyplus and I'm trying to set up a simple model with a central RTU and zone dampers (no VAV). My goal is to eventually run a BCVTB cosimulation that controls these zone dampers. In cases where there is no VAV and central air from the RTU is modulated only by zone dampers, does OpenStudio provide a standalone damper module that varies the mass flow rate according to setpoints? So far I have found AirTerminal:SingleDuct:Uncontrolled and AirTerminal:SingleDuct:VAV:NoReheat. Which one should I use? It makes sense that a zone damper can be modeled as a VAV equipment with no reheat coil, but I'm not sure how OS handles this case. Thanks!
