<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">I have a packaged single zone system using DX cooling and Furnace heating that serves 7 different zones and is controlled by the corridor zone. This is supposed to replicate "System 3" in ASHRAE 90.1 appendix G. I have many unmet heating hours (including my system control zone). I have let eQuest auto size equipment capacities and and cfm. I have tried doing everything I can think of to reduce the number of unmet hours. My OA volumes are pretty small and shouldn't be affecting it. I expected possibly a few unmet hours in some of the zones, but not in my control zone, the corridor, and not to this magnitude. I get the following warning message seen below, I'm not sure what it means by "Baseboard-Rating"? Any ideas on what this means or how I could reduce the number of unmet heating hours?</FONT></P>
