Oversizing/Undersizing Equipment

Hi Everyone,

I have been messing with the equipment sizing ratio in equest and came
across an interesting litte dilemma. I was playing with the "Heat sizing
Ratio" on the System Heating->Coil Cap/Control tab to see how it affects my
unmet hours. As I decrease the ratio here I see in the reports that the
system size does in fact decrease, yet no matter how low I make the ratio, I
never have unmet hours. This appears to be because the supplemental heat
increases as the equipment size decreases. Is there a way to limit
supplemental heating as well, or how would I be able to make my system have
unmet hours? I am using a heat pump system.

Thanks,

Michael Shields
