Hi Dante:

It always helps to include your .INP and .PD2 files on your email to this forum, so experts can help you.

Without seeing anything more, I would increase the deadband in your deadband thermostat from 2 to 4 06 6 DegF. I would also set the the COOL-CONTROL to WARMEST.

Otherwise, please attach your files. And let us know which version of eQuest you are using.

Good Day eQuest-users,
 
I apologize if anyone can help me in the following use, there is a VAV with reheat system, DX cooling and Hot Water Reheat. The Hot Water reheat is supplied by a boiler. The building is one floor with perimeter and core zones.
 
The following issue cause excessive unmet load hours in heating, I figure out that changing Heat/Rehat: Hot Water delta F from 30 F to 20 F reduce unmet load hours but cooling capacity is increased tremendously, also the following warning is maintained.
 
Please, any of you have go ahead with the following warning?
 
**WARNING**********************************************************************
             ZONE EL1 WSW Zone (fG.z1)            
             might have insufficient heating capability.
             Check that the SYSTEM or ZONE HEATING-CAPACITY plus this
             ZONEs BASEBOARD-RATING is adequate to maintain the ZONE
             specified DESIGN-HEAT-T for the calculated peak ZONE load
             (see LS-A or LS-B for the ZONE peak load.)
 
             SYSTEM S1 Sys (PVAVS)                  
             which supplies the above listed ZONE, has a design heating
             coil exit temperature, HEAT-SET-T,(plus any zone reheat)
             below its MAX-SUPPLY-T or the ZONE DESIGN-HEAT-T, which
             might account for the insufficient heating capability.
 
             ZONE EL1 WSW Zone (fG.z1)             has a THERMOSTAT-TYPE
             of REVERSE-ACTION, which, when added to the issues listed
             in the messages above, will cause excessive underheating.
 
Thank you!
