[Equest-users] ASHRAE 62.1 cfm/person

[Eric O'Neill]

Wow. You're correct.

The dictionary states:

"The maximum of values resulting from OA-FLOW/AREA, OA-FLOW/PER, and OA-CHANGES will be used unless an over-ride value for OUTSIDE-AIR-FLOW is specified."

I had read this assuming the logical operator "and" meant they were summed (rather than defining a set) and the initial portion of the statement was sloppy engineering English (as it would be the more useful of the two options). I suppose I need to be more aggressive in testing my assumptions, eh?

Thanks for correcting that!

Eric

I think what Pravin did was correct.

Eric, according to DOE2.2 Dictionary, only the maximum value of oa-flow/area and oa-flow/per will be used, not summed together.  
Please let me know if I am wrong.

Pravin,

I'm attaching a screen capture from a building I modeled (yes, that system setup was heinous and produced terrible results - it wasn't my doing) that shows the OA settings based on 62.1 requirements. 

Let me know if that doesn't simplify your process.

Eric

Hi All,
        This query is related to HVAC Ventilation used in equest. As per ASHRAE 62.1 Ventilation rates are specified based on per person and per sqft basis for example if I consider a office area the ventilation rates would be 5 cfm/person + 0.06 cfm/sqft.
Equest doesnt allow you to enter the ventilation rate based on sqft basis.
I  am calculating the ventilation rate manully (using per-person + per-sqft basis) and then dividing it by total occupancy and arriving at the cfm/person value which is to be entered in Equest.
Is this procedure correct???
Regards,
Pravin Wakode
