<div dir="ltr" data-setdir="false">Hi Nitin:</div><div dir="ltr" data-setdir="false"><br></div><div dir="ltr" data-setdir="false">If you set the system to single zone reheat, you have nothing to vary the airflow (VAV). So the fan tab should basically show the same fan kWh regardless of constant speed or variable speed. You need to have a system that will vary the airflow before you can set fan speed at variable.</div><div dir="ltr" data-setdir="false"><br></div><div dir="ltr" data-setdir="false">Hope this helps.</div><div dir="ltr" data-setdir="false"><br></div><div dir="ltr" data-setdir="false">John R Aulbach, PE</div><div><br></div>
