How does eQuest designates total supply CFM for VAV units?

Hi All,

I was wondering if anyone could provide some insight on to VAV systems in eQuest.
My modeling process:

Set min cfm/sqft=0.4 (As per guidelines)
Supply air to room air temperature difference of 200F

However, it seems as if supply cfm capacity mentioned in report (SV-A) is always high. However, maximum fan load in SS-H never seems to reach the peak (based on my kw/cfm input) .
This makes me think that eQuest is oversizing the supply cfm quite a bit. Could someone provide some guideline on this issue. Am I missing something?

Thanks,
Bikesh
