Re: [EnergyPlus_Support] Re: Autosizing full FA with heat recovery



I cannot think of a direct way to get the autosized fresh air flow rate to 
equal the autosized system flow rate.  Unless someone else can think of a way, 
you will need to put the required fresh air flow rate inputs in as hard numbers 
after you know what the system sizing will be.
