If a default was overridden, it would be you who did it so you would know what you overrode it with. If I am misunderstanding and you just couldn't see what the default was you can view it, usually by right clicking on the input box.<br><br>I am curious why the reviewer asked that autosizing not be done for the baseline. I was reading my Std 90 2004 User's guide this morning and was kind of surprised that in it they more or less suggest you need to oversize by hand. I'm not sure why. I know that you need to be careful where you put the 15% and 25% sizing increases in eQUEST but it's relatively easy to get them in the right spot.<br><br>As a check let me know what you think of my methodology. I set the system sizing ratio on the first screen of the Air-Side HVAC System to 1.0, and then set the Cool Size Ratio to 1.15 on the first screen under the Cooling tab, and the Heat Size Ratio to 1.25 of the first screen under the Heating tab.
