[EnergyPlus_Support] Re: Air volume flow rate - related warning message
I'm getting the same warnings. I'm using a Fan:VariableVolume in combination with a Coil:CoolingDX:SingleSpeed
It is a baseline model according to ASHRAE 90.1-2007 (system 6).
Do you think that replacing the Coil:CoolingDX:SingleSpeed with a Coil:Cooling:DX:TwoStageWithHumidityControlModee would be the solution?
Regards
