Jing, I think the mistake is making the zone unconditioned. You are
trying to keep it under control with ventilation, therefore it is
conditioned, no active heating or cooling but it is conditioned.
You also need the temperature profile of what is going on in that
space so you can understand what is happening. Buildings aren't
always intuitive depending what is going on and where it is
located. You have a fully walled and windowed zone I presume. For
unconditioned I would think a space like a parking garage that is
more than half open on 3 sides.<br>
You also have the impacts of the floor below and the floor above
which probably have larger boundary surfaces with your second floor
space than that space has exterior wall. It may not be energy
efficient to let the second floor stay near exterior temperatures
because of it's impact on the floors above and below. By making it
conditioned and giving it to a system will give you the information
you need to evaluate whether you want to treat it with just
ventilation. Open up your heating and cooling set points so there
really isn't going to be a call for heating and cooling and see what
the temperatures in the space do. Then start tinkering with the
exhaust cfm and zone cooling set point to see if this is practical
from an energy consumption point of view. Also watch what is
happening in the floor above and the floor below. You can advantage
of auto-sizing too.<br>
