[EnergyPlus_Support] G3.1.2.8 Design Airflow Rates - Sizing:System

["jeannieboef" <jeannieboef@xxxxxxxxx>]

I'm required to size my system so that the "System design supply airflow rates for the baseline building design shall be based on a supply-air-to-room-air temperature difference of 11°C or the required ventilation air or makeup air, whichever is greater."

I'm looking at:

Should I specify the design air delivery temperature so that it differs from the design day outdoor dry bulb temperature by 11°?
