I am having the same problem with airflow almost double from what I
specified. I tried the altitude correction and that did not help.<br>
<br>
Does the zone air flow and exhaust rate take preference over the fan flow
parameters?<br>
<br>
Thank you,<br>

Not stupid at all, If you have your altitude set to anything but 0 eQUEST will
adjust your cfm accordingly. I always go in and set it manually to zero. I
think it reads what it is off the weather file.<br>
