[BLDG-SIM] Dummy Zone for dedicated OA units

["Tupper, Kendra" <Kendra.Tupper@xxxxxxxxx>]

Scott,

 

You can designate a small portion of the building to be a dummy zone, or you can make the zone float off in space away from the building.  The important thing is that the dummy zone has no loads (zero people, lights equipment, adiabatic exterior surfaces, etc.).

I’ve read before that to correctly model a dedicated outdoor air unit, one should assign it to a dummy zone.

 

How do I go about creating a Dummy zone for an outside air handler?

 

Do I just make a small portion of the building its own zone and assign this OA unit to it?

 

Thanks for all your help. Any other suggestionss with OA units would be appreciated.
