What the OA-FROM-SYSTEM keyword does in DOE-2 is to set the incoming outdoor air temperature of the system using the keyword (the borrowing system) equal to the return air temperature of the system it specifies it is getting its OA from (the lending system). That is all. Thus there is no real transfer of air using this keyword. <o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D'>Regarding using an ERV with the OA-FROM-SYSTEM keyword, the “air” is not returned to the lending system (see above) so there is no or little heat to recover in the exhaust airstream. There are 2 possible workarounds for this. I have used the frost control “preheat exhaust” in the ERV keywords to set the exhaust temperature from which heat can be recovered. I then use electric heating for this exhaust preheat and put that preheat on a separate, zero cost, electrical meter. I then compare the heat added on the dummy meter to the internal gains in the actual space to ensure they are comparable. Alternately, you could add a dummy internal load in the lending system space to increase the exhaust air stream temperature to give you your heat for heat recovery.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><div><div style='border:none;border-top:solid #B5C4DF 1.0pt;padding:3.0pt 0in 0in 0in'><p class=MsoNormal><b><span lang=EN-US style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Tahoma","sans-serif"'>From:</span></b><span lang=EN-US style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Tahoma","sans-serif"'> equest-users-bounces@lists.onebuilding.org [mailto:equest-users-bounces@lists.onebuilding.org] <b>On Behalf Of </b>Paul Diglio<br><b>Sent:</b> Tuesday, June 04, 2013 4:01 PM<br><b>To:</b> Rick Goeres; equest-users@lists.onebuilding.org<br><b>Subject:</b> Re: [Equest-users] Fw: ERV on OA-From-System Comments from Jeff Hirsch<o:p></o:p></span></p></div></div><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><div><p class=MsoNormal style='margin-bottom:12.0pt'><span style='font-size:10.0pt'>Rick:<br><br>Thanks for the response.

He did not say what aspect is not supported. Like I said, in the past I have chopped up the ERV and attached a smaller one to each system served and achieved the results that my manual calculations indicated would be achieved.

If I try to remove the coils from the DOAS and chop them up and increase the heating/cooling capacity of each chilled beam system, my discharge air off the DOAS drops as low as -5 in the winter and again the chilled beams with their mini ERV's cannot condition this air.<br><br>Any ideas?<br><br>Thank you,<br><br>Paul Diglio, CEM, CBCP<o:p></o:p></span></p><div><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:10.0pt'>87 Fairmont Avenue<br>New Haven, CT 06513<br>203-415-0082<o:p></o:p></span></p></div><p class=MsoNormal style='margin-bottom:12.0pt'><span style='font-size:10.0pt'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><div><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:10.0pt'><a href="http://www.pdigliollc.com" target="_blank">www.pdigliollc.com</a><o:p></o:p></span></p><div><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:10.0pt'><o:p> </o:p></span></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:10.0pt'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><div><div class=MsoNormal align=center style='text-align:center'><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Tahoma","sans-serif"'><hr size=1 width="100%" align=center></span></div><p class=MsoNormal style='margin-bottom:12.0pt'><b><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Tahoma","sans-serif"'>From:</span></b><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Tahoma","sans-serif"'> Rick Goeres <<a href="mailto:RickG@musgrovepa.com">RickG@musgrovepa.com</a>><br><b>To:</b> Paul Diglio <<a href="mailto:paul.diglio@sbcglobal.net">paul.diglio@sbcglobal.net</a>>; <a href="mailto:equest-users@lists.onebuilding.org">equest-users@lists.onebuilding.org</a><br><b>Sent:</b> Tue, June 4, 2013 11:06:19 AM<br><b>Subject:</b> RE: [Equest-users] Fw: ERV on OA-From-System Comments from Jeff Hirsch</span><o:p></o:p></p><div><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D'>I have specified a DOAS as a single zone unit before and then designated it as the OSA From System in all of the other HVAC systems.

If you need ERV you must place your ERV in the IU system and use that system to supply the conditioned OA. ERV on a OA-FROM system is not supported. VAV on an OA-FROM system is possibly not what you want but I cannot tell what you are trying to do. An IU system has a central constant volume air supply with each zone then having zone coil to do the zone thermostat controlled conditioning via room air flow induced as a constant ratio supply air fro the IU (the induction-ratio). So it seems you can use the IU system as your ERU system supplying the zones. If there is some other reason you used an OA-FROM system, then perhaps my suggestions don’t apply, but the ERV and VAV comments always apply.</span><o:p></o:p></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:black'> </span><o:p></o:p></p></div><div><div class=MsoNormal align=center style='text-align:center'><span style='color:black'><hr size=2 width="100%" align=center></span></div><p class=MsoNormal><b><span style='color:black'>Jeff Hirsch</span></b><span style='color:black'><br>James J.
