[Equest-users] Modeling Reverse Acting TStat EF

Does this mean the exhaust fan can cycle based on zone temperature?   I had thought that the exhaust fan schedule was just on/off, on/off/flag and fraction. That means you have to pre-define the expected schedule rather than having the EF respond to the hourly space timestep temperature. 

What we have done in the past is to model the EF as a PSZ with the fan power as the supply fan power and the "indoor fan mode" as intermittent. Cooling capacity set to a small non-zero value (as zero invokes auto-sizing).

Yep - Julien has the right idea!

The other input of interest for your case is that at the same input screen, you can select the exhaust source as "infiltration," which means the associated makeup airstream = outside conditions.

Zonal exhaust fan has an option to control that on a temp schedule if I recall correctly.

Open the zone, tab "outside air" then at the right you can specify a zonal exhaust fan. (All this from memory so might differ slightly)

Cheers,
