Re: [EnergyPlus_Support] Question about "Venting Availability"?

["Michael J. Witte" <mjwitte@xxxxxxxx>]

This is a bug, the values should be averaged instead of summed.  There are 
actually three COMIS report variables that are incorrectly summing instead of 
averaging:

Zone,Sum,Opening Factor Multiplier for COMIS Venting Modulation[]
Zone,Sum,Inside Temp Setpoint for COMIS Venting[C]
Zone,Sum,Venting Availability[]

A change request (#6362) has been submitted to have this fixed.  Thank you for 
notifying us of the problem.
