<p class="MsoNormal">Hi David,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">We are modeling a 3D building with external chiller and cooling coil. The problem we have is that even with gains in the zones, the airnode temperatures are lower than the ambient temperature. The cooling effect (through ventilation) is
almost zero yet the zone temperatures are low. That has puzzled us as to how is that possible.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Could you point me in the right direction?<o:p></o:p></p>
