are in standard CFM (i.e. at sea level), while the reports are in site CFM (i.e. at site altitude). So if your altitude factor is > 1.0, the reported airflows will be higher than your inputs. You can check by selecting an alternative location at sea level.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p><span style="font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:black">I'm modeling a Pkgd Var Vol rooftop unit with VAV boxes in eQUEST version 3.65 and I have a ventilation issue. The issue is this...<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p><span style="font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:black"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p><span style="font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:black">Although I enter an Air Flow rate in cfm for each VAV box, the program insists on increasing my cfm by 1.05% when I run a simulation. I can't seem to force the program to model the ventilation
cfm that I've entered. How can I stop eQUEST for increasing by hardwired ventilation cfm? What factors do I need to modify to run a simulation with the ventilation quantities for my scheduled cfm?<o:p></o:p></span></p>
