<DIV><FONT face="Courier New" size=2><SPAN class=010095416-21012004>We are
modeling an office building under Equest 3.4/DOE 2.2. The outside air is
preheated at 55F and is supplied to the main VAV systems via a dedicated system.
The program seems to understand adequately the loads and sizes the systems
correctly. </SPAN></FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face="Courier New" size=2><SPAN class=010095416-21012004>During the
year, we are getting a large amount of "load not met" hours in the internal
zones, even though there are enough cfm to cool the total loads for the zones at
the wanted supply temperature (these total loads for the zones and supply
temperatures were obtained with an hourly report). The dedicated outside air
system seems to work well when we are calculating manually the outside air
mix with the return. We did try to oversize the cfm and cooling capacities, and
the loads not met dissapear. But why oversizing the cfms when they were
adequately sized according to the peak loads ?</SPAN></FONT></DIV>

questions are : Do you understand what is happening & how does DOE
calculates the load not met ?</SPAN></FONT></DIV>
