<div>Thanks Bill--I think this will be helpful. I currently have a baseline model with whacked underheated hours and with upsizing ratios and autosized calcs nothing is changing for me. I will try this input adjustment and see if it works.</div>

<p class="MsoNormal">eQUEST 3.64 adds the HMAX-FLOW-RATIO keyword in System -> Fans -> Flow Parameters. The default value is the greater of the fan MIN-FLOW-RATIO and 0.5, but this value is determined by the program and you don’t see it when you look at the Flow Parameters tab. Entering a value of 1.0 corrected an unmet heating hours problem for me that appeared when I opened a model in 3.64 that I originally created in 3.63. This works for both VAVS and PVAVS system types.<u></u><u></u></p>
