Generally, you can model each piece individually and add the results. However, if they are served by common equipment (say one chiller plant serves all the buildings) you want to be careful that you are modeling the actual equipment performance. You don't want 5 models each showing the chiller running at 15% capacity, when it is actually running at 75% capacity, as these will have different points on the efficiency curve.
