Reduce Fan CFM in a Parametric run, but only in certain months (such as heating)? I know you can change the CFM itself, but now i want to do it in certain months.
Thanks in advance,
John
John,
See if you can take advantage of the HMAX-FLOW-RATIO keyword at the system and zones. It sets the maximum airflow ratio in heating mode. You could create an ?HMAXFLWRAT? parameter to change it from say, 1.0 to 0.3 as a parametric run.

You could do add a Max Flow Sch too all zones in a parametric run
