Dan,
[I copied the equest-users instead of bldg-sim.]
You need to enter zone-level OA as OA-FLOW/PER and/or OA-FLOW/AREA. The
OA flow/per (person) is what will vary the OA on an hourly basis, based
on your occupancy schedule(s). (Hourly OA = (# of people) * OA-FLOW/PER
* (% occupancy in schedule)). In order to turn OA off during unoccupied
hours, I create a MIN-AIR-SCH, coinciding with the fan schedule, set to
zero when fan is off (or night cycling) and -999 when fan is on. The
hourly OA can be verified by creating a new hourly report for the system
to track total system supply air flow rate and ratio of outside air to
total supply air.
Regards,
Bill
