<div>Gordon, go to the SS-F reports for each zone in your DOE2 output, here you will be able to identify which zones suffer from underconditioning and whether it is heating or cooling energy that is insufficient. If it is heating energy (i.e. underheated) which is my guess for your model then you can adjust items to offer more heating energy. You might want to install baseboards in your system & zones, you may need to adjust your reheat coil delta T, or something else.</div>

<div>You can always send us your .pd2 & .inp files so that we can open up your project, review it and give you some suggestions.</div>

I have tried increasing my "Throttling Range" to 4 F, increasing my system size capacity (from 1.15 to 2), and have also adjusted my "Heat Temp Schedule" to turn all but one zone to default to create a 'control zone' for the system. However, I still have many unmet hours (~39% of hours outside of throttling range - my BEPU report does not identify hours, but rather a % (reference previous Equest thread)).</span></font></div>
