Following up on last Sunday’s PDD workshop, @coachmarkbailey recommended sorting out the different types of mechanical systems by if they provide heating only, or cooling only or both. When I did this exercise using the systems in Architect’s Studio Companion, I only found hydronic convectors to provide heating only, nothing that provides cooling only, and the remaining systems being able to provide both heating and cooling. Does this match up?
