Natural Ventilation Only

Hi,

I wanted to create a model in eQuest that only had natural ventilation using the S-G method and no mechanical system. Is this possible?

I have come up with the following problems:

? I have used a PSZ unit and have 0 cooling capacity, no ventilation requirements and not installed heating ? however I am still getting cooling and fan energy

? If I turn off the fans then the unmet load hours are not calculated as they depend on when the fans are scheduled

? If I use a heating only system, natural ventilation inputs are not allowed

? I don?t want to just use an economizer for natural ventilation as I want the outside air to be dependent on the wind speeds and not forced with fans.

Any thoughts?
