<DIV><BR>You need to remove any specification of OA flow at the zone level. In eQUEST, zonal values often/always(?) trump system values. In order to remove the value and leave the cell blank, right click and hit "restore default". </DIV>

One of these zones<BR>has a 100% OA requirement. I would like for eQuest to auto size the supply<BR>cfm for all zones, thus in the wizard I do not specify any flowrate or OA%.<BR>Once in the detailed mode, under the "Outdoor Air" tab and the "Outside Air<BR>and Economizer" screen, I set the minimum outside air ratio to 1.0. After<BR>running the simulation and checking the SV-A report, it says that the OA%<BR>for this zone for the simulation was actually 3%, not the 100% this zone<BR>requires. Can anyone tell me how to force eQuest to 100% OA? I looked at<BR>the help for the outside air ratio and it stated that it was for winter<BR>heating periods. Is there a work around for this? I have attached the .inp<BR>and .pd2 files for this project.<BR><BR>Thank you for your assistance.<BR><BR>Marcus Eliason<BR>Essex Engineering Corporation<BR>404.365.9482<BR>meliason@essexco.com<BR><BR></DIV></BODY></HTML>
