Hi,
I'm running an energy simulation on a three floors office building.
This building have also an entrance hall.
The HVAC system for the office part is a VRV Fan Coil System with external air condensed units
The HVAC system for the hall is a Radiant floor type with external heat pump.
I've already identified the baseline system #6 for the VRV system (per ASHRAE 90.1 appendix G table G3.1.1A).
I've to include the hall HVAC system in this VRV baseline system #6 , or I have to choose another one?
If I've to choose another one for the Hall, I've to consider the Hall surface only or the whole building area in order to identify the correct baseline system on the ASHRAE appendix G table?
Thank you in advance and sorry for my bad english.

You only model a different system if any of the exceptions in G3.1.1 apply.
