Yay, Omar!! You are really learning this stuff fast. It makes sense to me that a gym would need more airflow. It probably should be thought of in the terms of air changes per hour (ACH) instead of cfm/sf, due to the volume of a gym being greater than a normal space. I'm surprised this made no sense to the design team. Pretty soon you'll be teaching them all kinds of valuable lessons!<br>

<p class="MsoNormal"><font color="navy" face="Arial" size="2"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial; color: navy;">However, note that I couldn’t justify
some of my zones with excessive underheating or undercooling. I do not know why
these specific zones have caused problems. Keep in mind that you need to
coordinate with the Mechanical Engineers regarding any changes in the supply
flow rates. I had to increase the supply flow rate of a gym from 11,000CFM to
16,000CFM in eQUEST, and this made absolutely no sense to the design team!</span></font></p><div class="im">

go where there is a call for conditioning, have you checked your system reports
too? it might have to do with your system & temp scheduling. Can you
send your .pd2 & .inp file both so that we can open your file in eQuest?</span></font></p>

Proportional. Also try reducing the cool control range from 4 deg to 1 deg.</span></font></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><font face="Times New Roman" size="3"><span style="font-size: 12pt;" lang="EN-US">I am modeling a two-story elementary school with a VRV
/ DOAS system in one area (classrooms, admin.), and a VAV system in another
(gym, cafeteria, food prep.). The unmet heating hours are currently
around 750, and I am at my wit’s end to reduce them further. I have
incorporated suggestions such as increasing the throttling range (currently at
6, helped a little bit) and sizing ratio (currently at 1.15, although
increasing to 2.00 did not help much). As I have also tried my best to
model the VRV / DOAS system, I’m still not sure if it is correct…
I’ve just picked up what I could from the users archives.</span></font></p>
