There were several configurations of OA controls between the two Air Systems and even with all systems being variable air volume, the “OA from system” system seems to only be size for an outside air volume and then if any unit needs air, the fan kicks on and runs at a constant cfm.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:#1F497D'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:#1F497D'>If you find a good method of setting up this system, I would love to hear any advice / discoveries you make. <o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:#1F497D'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:#1F497D'>Below is a screen shot of where you create hourly reports in eQuest.
