In the zone group definitions screen, click the zone details box and you'll be able to specify the cfm and other small details. Then in the DI, you can balance the infiltration or not.

Hi all,

 

I may be missing something blatant, but is there any means of specifying exhaust for zones/systems in the wizards?

 

As best I can tell, there’s no way around specifying items in detailed mode to ensure exhausted air is accounted for during a 90.1 baseline “sizing run” (to determine capacities/SA-CFM’s for efficiency/RA-CFM/fan power inputs).

 

Just trying to tighten my workflow to avoid unnecessary rework… has anyone been in the practice of cleverly cramming the exhaust into the model via wizards or would this be a futile use of our time?

 

~Nick
