I updated this entry from the 13.5 default to the 305 at the zone level in the four corner zones of the pd2 attached previously and (of course) this made a big difference.

The low heating requirements that are reported do not seem reasonable given the 100% outdoor air w/o heat recovery (for baseline). I've looked through the archives for modeling DOAS so I apologize as I'm sure that my question is redundant. I've set the minimum outside air ratio to 1.0 which didn't change the results from when it was the default (blank). I've attached my pd2 and inp files. Is my outside air set correctly?<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p></div></body></html>
