Appendix G Fan Simulation

Sorry to rehash this but I've been going through the baseline fan power, and still don't have the answers I need.

I've got a 113,000 cfm (from the SV-A System Design Parameters report) VAVR system on my baseline that when I go through all the calculations for ASHRAE 90.1-2007 (from Table G3.1.2.9, Table 6.5.3.1.1a and b) I get 176.13 bhp. I put that in the wizard entry for BHP for the VAVR system and don't get any errors, BUT when I put in the bhp that I solved for the packaged multi-zone AHU's that will be used in the building also (92,000 cfm, 153.88 bhp), using the same calculations, it gives me an error that the static is at 56 in w.c., and it needs to be below 15.

What's going on? Also, if you use the equations from Table 6.5.3.1.1a and b, then the break horsepower is higher than the allowable nameplate hp. Isn't that backwards?
