[Equest-users] Baseline Fan power calculation

[Hala Jaber]

Thanks steven, but the indoor design thermostat temperature 22C , which is
not  exaggerated ,since my building is office building and the recommended
design temp is 22C as per ASHRAE guidlines,the design throttling range in
my design is 0.83 K(Kelvin),so does it make it realistic?
