<p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";
color:#1F497D'>I also have a similar question related to minimum OA settings
for DCV, particularly with OA-FLOW/PER and OA-FLOW/AREA. Say I am using
ASHRAE 62.1 for my OA rates, there are minimum requirements for cfm/person and
cfm/area. However, the way eQuest calculates min zone OA is by taking the
higher value of either OA-FLOW/PER or OA-FLOW/AREA, not the combine total.
To correctly model the OA requirement, I have to calculate the combine OA rate
(i.e. {[cfm/per * max # of person] + [cfm/area * floor area] } / floor area)
and input that value in OA-FLOW/AREA. Now, the problem comes in when we
include DCV into the model, at which eQuest cannot calculate the savings
because the OA-FLOW/PER value is not entered. I would greatly appreciate it
if anyone can clarify this.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

recently modeled DCV successfully for the first time. (I showed savings
anyway.) You need to enter zone-level OA as OA-FLOW/PER and/or OA-FLOW/AREA.
The OA flow/per (person) is what will get you the savings, based on your
occupancy schedule(s). I also created a MIN-AIR-SCH, coinciding with the fan
schedule, set to zero when fan is off and -999 when fan is on.</span><span
