All,
Hi all, noob eQuest user here.
I've modeled an Appendix G Baseline System 6 for a LEED project.I looked into the hourly report of the PIU and found that they are providing less supply air than the minimum ventilation requirement. After some trial and error I found that my zone's min-flow-ratio (set at 30%) is limiting the flow rate to 30%. Not only it doesnt make sense, it's reduced my proposed energy saving, and it's not complying with ASHRAE.
After I removed the 30% min-flow-ratio and leave them blank, the airflow rates seem ok. However in Report SV-B Zone Fan Data for PIU System it's showing that my zone fans are not sized for 50% as required by ASHRAE.
Has anyone have the same problem before? Seems I can't please both requirement.
Thanks,
Moses
