NC-2009 EAp2: Minimum Energy Performance
I am working with shopping mall project. each shop has equipped with FCU units for air conditioning while separate treated fresh air AHU (PAHU) is supplying fresh air to each shop. Is there any method to assign a single shop to both FCU and PAHU in eQuest? Consider both FCU and PAHU are connected to same chilled water system.

There are two ways to do this. You can set up a dummy zone or you can assign the PAHU proportionally to each FCU (both the cfm and fan power). There is extensive discussion on this subject within the eQUEST Users group you can find at onebuilding.org.
