<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2><SPAN class=316402914-05072007>I am having a
problem modeling a dedicated outside air handling unit in Equest. I have
followed past advice from this mailing list and also the DOE2.2 manuals, but the
OAHU is not sized correctly in my simulation runs.</SPAN></FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2><SPAN class=316402914-05072007>I have specified a
constant OAcfm/sqft in each zone to simulate a constant volume
unit, and the air handling units served by the OAHU link to it with
the OA-From command. But there appears to be a problem in that the
OAHU will fail to recognize the zone OA requirements from zones defined by
floor multipliers, and therefore it is not sized properly. For example, my
10 story building (Ground, Mid (x8), Top) will have the OAHU sized for 3
floors only (Ground, Mid, Top).</SPAN></FONT></DIV>
