Outdoor Air - Minimum Air ScheduleSubject: [Equest-users] Outdoor Air - Minimum Air Schedule

Dear all,

I have a question about Minimum Air Schedule. The Item help said "A value of -999 returns the hourly value to MIN-OUTSIDE-AIR or to the program's calculated minimum outside air value (found on report SV-A for the SYSTEM or for each zone for zonal systems)." But the schedule can only use type "Fraction" which's value can only be 0.0000 to 1.0000. If I put -999 in this type schedule, it will be error. How to use -999 in this schedule?

Hi Fiona!

In this instance, you can assign either a fraction schedule or a frac/design schedule (permitting values of -999).

Good to know: While the supporting documentation usually gets the job done, the reference manual help entries do not always clearly specify every option available in their descriptions. I've found generally, if you right-click a field that would require a schedule and select "View Default/Range" you'll find a more direct summary of what options are on the table:
