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>

thermostat type is appropriate. Use Reverse Action if you want to allow the
supply flow in heating mode to rise above the minimum flow ratio, otherwise use
Proportional. Also try reducing the cool control range from 4 deg to 1 deg.</span></font></p>

style='font-size:12.0pt'>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>
