[Equest-users] Minimum Fresh Air AHU

[Omar Katanani]

Hi Guys,

May I ask why are you doing this process?

My understanding is that I double click on each zone, go to the Air flow/Outside Air, and enter the CFM of the fresh outside air. In what cases do I need to create an AHU for fresh air?

Thanks!
Omar

Andrew,

Create a Dummy space, very small 1ft x 1ft x 1ft with no load and then a
Dummy Zone for it and use this for your zone. I would not use Multi Zone but
rather PSZ if you are supply the fresh air at a constant volume or PVAVS if
it is supplied at a variable volume.

Best,

Carol
