<br>
<font size=2 face=sans-serif><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:sans-serif'>There
is a bug in V3.63 that defaults zone heating minimum flow ratio to 1.00
(technically, I think it defaults to the system minimum overall supply ratio),
rather than the system heating minimum flow ratio (which defaults to 0.01).
This will cause systems with variable heating air flow to use a lot more
fan and heating energy than expected.</span></font> <br>
<br>
<font size=2 face=sans-serif><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:sans-serif'>You
can either change all of your zone flows manually or set a user-defined default
code snippet: for the zone heating minimum air flow (or insert this bit of code
in your .inp file).</span></font> <br>
