I'm modeling a Pkgd Var Vol rooftop unit with VAV boxes in eQUEST version 3.65 and I have a ventilation issue. The issue is this...

Although I enter an Air Flow rate in cfm for each VAV box, the program insists on increasing my cfm by 1.05% when I run a simulation. I can't seem to force the program to model the ventilation cfm that I've entered. How can I stop eQUEST for increasing by hardwired ventilation cfm? What factors do I need to modify to run a simulation with the ventilation quantities for my scheduled cfm?

thanks,
