<p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:#1F497D'>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.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class=MsoNormal>Dear All, <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>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.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>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.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>Thanks.<sup><o:p></o:p></sup></p>
