It's a tough module to try and figure out yourself.

I would advise starting slowly. chose one of the prototype systems that can be autosized and click down the sizing navigator steps one by one so you get it sized and simulated. Don't try editing controllers or anything just use the profiles that come in from the navigator.
If you do the navigator you will at least get to run a simulation and see results for your hvac enabled building.

Try simple garage HVAC system first, then change one by one in flow controller to see what happen :idea:
