<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 face=Calibri><span style='font-size:11.0pt'>Hopefully
someone knows how to deal with outside air. I can’t seem to figure
out how to set my minimum outside air on my HVAC systems. When I set my
OA minimum on my Air system , and adjust the minimum OA fraction in my schedule
I still get ventilation results below my set minimum. It seems, no matter
what I do to the outside air setting on the system side the program sizes the
OA ventilation based solely on what my outside air ventilation rates of the individual
spaces and ignores any setting I put in my system. Does anyone have
experience on how to remedy this?<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
