Thank you. Both links were very helpful. I have multiple systems (WSHP and Ductless split HP system) control in one thermal zone (THZ). I also suspected that the staircase THZ runs from the 1st floor thru 21st floor that has no HVAC system in this zone causing the problem. I added the unit heater in this zone and it works fine now. Thanks again for the hints.

2016-09-13 12:15:18 -0500 commented answer Primary Secondary Loop Alternate Set Up

Hi Kyle, I did setup pri-sec loops with a single plant and also added the HX object for WSE purpose onto the CHW and CW loops. And the WSE was performed very well. However, I separated the primary and secondary loops with HX object with two plant loops. I also added the new HX object to CHW and CW loops for WSE but the WSE doesn't do anything at all even though I have the same setup as it was in the single plant loop ....what did I do wrong?

2016-09-13 03:00:19 -0500 commented answer Is this correct configurations for primary/secondary loops with waterside economizer in Openstudio

Thank you Taylor. I realized that I used the same HX object for both primary/secondary loop and CW loop for WSE. When I tried to connect the HX object, which I have already used it for the primary/secondary loop, to the CW loop, then it doesn’t work. I have created another HX object for the WSE purpose and connected it to the CW loop and it works fine. However, I struggle with the WSE because it doesn’t activate at all. Any advice, please? Thanks again.

2016-09-11 21:36:40 -0500 asked a question Is this correct configurations for primary/secondary loops with waterside economizer in Openstudio

Hi all, I’m a new user in OpenStudio and wonder if I have this arrangement for CHW and CW loops correctly. Any advice and suggestions will be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

The HX on the primary and secondary loops are the same object and this exchanger is also provided a waterside economizer for the chiller loop. My question is how can I connect this HX to the CW loop for a FreeCooling purpose? I have attached the photos of this configuration for your reference. Thank you again.
