Ok, I tried this solution but I wish to explain better my system to have a confirmation about my implementation...
 I have a residential building with 14 flats.

The only things I know about my (real) air system are:
-the articulation of the loop: Outdoor air->External fan->Heat exchanger->Electric heating coil->Zone->Heat exchanger->Outdoor air
-the air temperature of the air flow entering into a zone, which is 18°C if Tair outdoor<=18°C, T in air =Tair outdoor if Tair outdoor is >18°C,
-If the outdoor air is <18°C an electric coil will increase it up to 18°C
-the maximum air flow rate of the fans which is  0.0238 m3/s,
-the ON period of the system (schedule),

Each flat has an independent air loop. (in this case P0A1 is a flat)



The elements are like these, for fans: I underline the schedule and the flow rate

No. Look in the ioref at the sizing:plant object. You can (now) size the equipment as one does in Europe, by ventilation rate, so that the AHU does not try and meet the zone loads, just brings the air in at the specified temp.

Do you mean the Design outdoor Air Flow rate? Actually it was on: autosize. I set the maximum design air flow for the fans with a project value but maybe the field you are speaking about should be set to the same value.
I have changed it and I'm trying another run.
In an hour I'll have the results.

Without looking at the attatchments, I suspect that you have not set the (I think third field) sizing:system object to  size by ventilation rate instead of sensible load.

Just before the entrance of the air flux in a zone, there is a heating coil which should increase the incoming air temperature until 18°C, if the outside air temperature is less than 18°C. If the outside air temperature is >18°C the air flux is not heated by this coil. I should have set this using SetpointManager:OutdoorAirReset,

Dear Jean, is this what you mean?
Do I have to correct anything?
At the moment I'm running a simulation with these parameters.

Thanks for your time.
