Dear Javed,
1. It seems that the ASHRAE 62.1 report should be unaffected by the use of demand control ventilation. This is because 62.1 focusses on peak ventilation requirements, whereas DCV affects off-peak ventilation.
2. If you do not have a variable for ?Zone Air Carbon Dioxide Concentration? in your .rdd, then I suspect you have not defined DCV fully. I think the CO2 variable is triggered by the ZoneControl:ContaminantContoller object. I?ve shown the relevant objects below.
p.s., I do not understand the DCV process in E+ completely, and I am open to feedback!

Thanks for you reply. Buy i don't find any of the following variable in .rdd report. though carbon equivalent pollution from CO2 is there. Basically i want to see following report after simulating Demand control ventilation.

Hi All,
I'm trying to model DCV and exploring file HeatPumpVRP_DCV.idf to see the output but when i run the simulation, the standard 62.1Summary doesn't have any output data. How to visualize this?
Thanks!
