[Equest-users] Control of Energy Recovery System in the Baseline Building on ASHRAE 90.1-2010 Simulated

[Konstantina Kalliakoudi]

Hi Fred,

thank you for your answer.

So if I understood right ,the baseline building is with bypass of the
enthalpy wheel and with no economizer. And yes, this make sense.

Thank you
