I'm confused with how to organize the logical Supply Air systems in RME. I have a very basic office building configuration with one Air Handling Unit on the roof, which distributes air to VAV boxes, which in turn distributes the air to diffusers. Everything looks ok on the floor plan but when I open up the System Browser, all I see is a mish-mash of different configurations which is not what I intended my system to look like (refer to my attached image.)
I have all my VAV boxes defined under my Mech Supply Air 9, which is a subsystem of the AHU. I then have *another* copy of all the VAV units without an AHU attached to them, but with the diffusers attached.
I'm trying to reconfigure the systems into one logical tree instead of two separate configurations. So my question is this: in RME, does a "Mechanical Supply Air" system imply everything downstream of one AHU unit (ie. if you have 10 AHUs then you have 10 Mechanical Supply Air systems)? If this is true then I'll have to assign EVERYTHING under Mech Supply 9, even the diffusers, so I will get a huge list of VAV boxes and diffusers all bunched up together in the system browser.
Is this the way to do it? Or can you suggest a better way..
Thanks,
