In all of my zones, outputs for Zone Air Relative Humidity are all very high in the summer months. This is much higher than I expected and is especially hurting my ERV summer latent performance. Internal latent gains all seem acceptable, as are zone air temperatures.

As far as I can tell, the zone humidity is simply taking the outdoor humidity ratio, and adding the latent gains from the zone, with some buffering due to the ERV. There is no zone humidistat, as in reality there is none, but in summer months, why would the cooling coil from the fancoil not dehumidify this air? Inputs are left to autosize, but all coils are 75% sensible, which is close to reality.
