My overall HVAC strategy involved ensuring that my supply ducts where near my curtian glass exteriors, and my return ducts were location near the more internal spaces of my building.

My heating strategy was to ensure that heat was being pushed near both curved ends of my building. This is were the curtain walls are not present and the building does not get direct southward expersore. Cooling is most readily availible at the front of the building as the sun will be most direct in those areas.

My major challenge came from initially only using supply ducts initially. This was because I was trying to get my schedule to reflect the CFM I needed for my spaces accurately. When using the supply ducts, this became more difficult to capture accurately as my return ducts would now show what was actually supplied on my schedule.
