Re: [EnergyPlus_Support] Outside air problem

This should work.  In CONTROLLER:OUTSIDE AIR, specify the desired outside air 
flow rate for "minimum outside air flow rate".  This will be the outside air 
flow rate when the VAV system is at full flow.  If you want this to remain 
fixed, even when the VAV system flow is reduced, then set MinimumLimit to FIXED 
MINIMUM.  One exception is if the VAV system flow is reduced below the 
specified "minimum outside air flow rate", the outside air flow will be reduced 
to provide 100% outside air at whatever the system flow rate is for that time.
