Values in the MIN-AIR-SCH vary from 0.0 (no outside air flow; economizer
inactive if specified) to 1.0 (100% outside air flow). A value of 0.001 actives the economizer. A value of -999 returns the hourly value to MIN-OUTSIDE-AIR or to the program's calculated minimum outside air value (found on report SV-A for the SYSTEM or for each zone for zonal systems). During a warmup period, this schedule is normally set to zero and can then be set to -999 during other hours to allow the specified or calculated ventilation minimum damper position to be used. Note that schedules are ignored in the design routines; therefore, the minimum ventilation air desired for design must be specified either at the zone or system level. <BR><BR><BR>On Jul 1, 2010 11:29am, "Sami, Vikram" <Vikram.Sami@perkinswill.com> wrote:<BR>> <BR>> <BR>> John,<BR>> <BR>> 78% savings in fan energy and 64% in heating seems high to me.

<BR>> <BR>> <BR>> <BR>> I realize I am asking for relative numbers, but I am unsure how much Demand Control Ventilation can actually save a building.
