[BLDG-SIM] Modeling a variable air volume make up air fan system

["Mike Tillou" <miket@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Greetings All,

 

I am working on a project where I have a make-up ventilation air system that serves 16 VAV air-handlers (one per floor).  The make-up air fan has a VFD to maintain constant pressure in the duct as the OA Dampers at each floor modulate open and closed.  I am using DOE2.2 (eQUEST) and need help using the OA-FROM-SYSTEM command.  Specifically, I cannot resolve how to add a system (make-up air fan) without a conditioned zone.  Do I just create a dummy zone that it serves or is there a better way.

 

Could someone who has used this command before and modeled a similar system please offer some advise.

 

Thank you.

 

Mike
