Re: [EnergyPlus_Support] ATU - Heat recovery with no mixture

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

Yes. this will provide 100% outside air with heat recovery and no 
recirculation.  However, the outside air flow will never be more than the 
system supply flow rate.  So, when the VAV terminal units reduce the total 
system flow rate, the outside air flow rate will be reduced to match.
