<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 face=Arial><span style='font-size:10.0pt;
font-family:Arial'>I am trying to model a dedicated outdoor air system in
eQUEST. I created the DOAS (type PSZ) and assigned it to a 1ft<sup>2</sup> “dummy
zone”, which has no loads. All of my other systems have OA-FROM-SYSTEM
set to the DOAS. I set SUPPLY-FLOW for the DOAS to the total OA flow rate for
the building, and I set MIN-OUTSIDE-AIR for the DOAS to 1.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 face=Arial><span style='font-size:10.0pt;
font-family:Arial'>Now I am confused as to what settings to input under the
Air-Side HVAC Zone Parameters for the “dummy zone”. Do I define
heating and cooling thermostat schedules, which are set to the temperature at
which I want to supply the OA to all the other systems? So, if I want the DOAS
to supply 70F air to all the other systems do I set these thermostat schedules and
the Indoor Design Temperatures to 70F? Also, do I need to input the building OA
supply flow rate in the dummy zone under ASSIGNED-FLOW and OUTSIDE-AIR-FLOW?<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
