<p class="MsoNormal">I don’t believe there is report that shows monthly OA CFM, but I could be wrong. Just looking through the “S” reports now and I’m not seeing that. I’d probably run a before and after case and check the difference in total OA to see if
it’s in the ballpark. This could be done with a parametric run and pulling up both simulation reports side by side and reviewing the total difference.<o:p></o:p></p>

Are you trying to vary the system CFM or OA CFM? See below for eQuest’s definition of Minimum OA Sch. The minimum OA schedule varies the hourly OA ratio. To create an annual schedule to vary the CFM seasonally you can create an additional set of weekly/daily
schedules, and then set the run times in the annual schedule.<br>
