[Equest-users] RESOLVED Air Flow Following Occupancy Schedule

[Billy Vreeland]

I managed to resolve my issue with a good suggestion from a co-worker early
this morning.   Looking in my INP file, my HMIN-FLOW-SCH was defaulted to my
occupancy schedule.   Commenting this out (or switching it to my air flow
schedule) has fixed the problem I was seeing.

Subject: [Equest-users] Air Flow Following Occupancy Schedule

 

Dear All, 

 

I am modeling a VAV 100% OA lab facility in eQuest and am running into a
problem with my air flow schedule.  I would like to have a minimum air flow
requirement with setbacks during unoccupied hours.  I have set FLOW/AREA
(and have also tried setting MIN-FLOW/AREA) and have created a Min Flow
Schedule with values of 1.0 during occupied times and .35 during unoccupied
hours.  My FLOW/AREA takes affect but for some reason the air flow doesn't
follow my Min Flow Schedule.  I have noticed that instead it exactly follows
my occupancy schedule.

 

Has anyone come across this before?  I'm wondering if there is a setting I
am not considering that overrides my flow schedule.  Any advice is
appreciated.

 

Thanks.
