PLENUM-NAMESZONE-NAMESis a listing of the U-names (maximum of 3) of those ZONEsassigned to this SYSTEM that are return air plenums. TheSYSTEMS program recalculates the cooling/heating loads andtemperatures in the plenum zones as for other zones, exceptthat the effect of return air flow through the plenum isconsidered in lieu of direct air supply.Note that the U-name of at least one ZONE instruction mustbe entered for this keyword if the code-word PLENUM-ZONEShas been entered for the keyword RETURN-AIR-PATH. Notealso, that the code-word PLENUM must be entered for thekeyword ZONE-TYPE in each ZONE instruction named here.is a listing of the U-names (maximum of 64) of all theZONEs (CONDITIONED, UNCONDITIONED, and PLENUM) that areassigned to this SYSTEM. The UNCONDITIONED and PLENUMZONES must be listed, so that the temperature and interactionswith surrounding ZONEs may be tracked.This data entry, with the U-name of at least oneCONDITIONED ZONE, is required.Note: If the SYSTEM being simulated is the type thatserves both a central ZONE and one or more subZONEs (i.e.,SZRH, PSZ and RESYS), the U-name of the control ZONE mustbe listed first and, naturally, that ZONE must beCONDITIONED.Warning: ZONEs that share INTERIOR-WALLs cannot beassigned to different PLANT-ASSIGNMENTs.IV.264 (Revised 5/81)
