[Equest-users] SV-A: Discrepancy between system OA rate and sum of zone OA rates

[Bishop, Bill]

Hi Darryl,
From your SV-A report, if you sum the zone outside air flows, then add the zone exhaust flows, and divide by the supply cfm, you get the OA ratio of 0.223.
Hope that helps.
Also, I think I need bifocals.
Regards,
~Bill

Subject: [Equest-users] SV-A: Discrepancy between system OA rate and sum of zone OA rates

Good day everyone,

When I review the SV-A report for a PVAVS, there is a discrepancy between the OA rate at the system level and the sum of the zone OA rates and I'm not sure why. Hoping someone can help me out.

Here's the SV-A report:

The OUTSIDE-AIR-FLOW was entered for each zone. No other OA inputs were entered at the zone level.

At the system level, below shows some of the OA inputs:

And here's the MinOA Sch:

Any help would be appreciated!

Thanks
Darryl
