same procedure of normal ducting but check the size of VAV Box. During VAV Open the cfm in the other branches will be standard required CFM but if the fan of unit is not with VSD then on closing VAV the CFM will be increased in other branches so they have to be designed on that cfm during VAV is closed but it is better to have VSD on the unit fan
