[Equest-users] low heating requirements

[Kent Beason]

Further to this, the design OA flow rate is high given it is a kennel: about
305 cfm/occupant (dog), or 12 ach.  I updated this entry from the 13.5
default to the 305 at the zone level in the four corner zones of the pd2
attached previously and (of course) this made a big difference.  That aside,
I'm still unsure that the outdoor air ratio is properly defined as mentioned
below.

Subject: low heating requirements

 

I'm looking to wrap up the baseline of the attached where I'm modeling two
100% outside air systems (ApG #3).  The low heating requirements that are
reported do not seem reasonable given the 100% outdoor air w/o heat recovery
(for baseline).  I've looked through the archives for modeling DOAS so I
apologize as I'm sure that my question is redundant.  I've set the minimum
outside air ratio to 1.0 which didn't change the results from when it was
the default (blank).  I've attached my pd2 and inp files.  Is my outside air
set correctly?
