Dear , I am starting to analyze the use of DOAS for commercial buildings and my first attempt was to verify the two examples files : HVACTemplate-5ZoneFanCoil and HVACTemplate-5ZoneFanCoil-DOAS. I got the two examples and I simulated them for the same climate (São Paulo, Brazil). For my surprise, the model with DOAS consumes 16% more energy than the one without DOAS? I simulated the same files for the climate of Chicago (original city in the site location of the example files) I got similar results. Shouldn´t be the opposite ? I would appreciated any help. Regards, Alberto
