[BLDG-SIM] Passive Chilled Beam Model with Dummy OA zone of SZRH



Hi all
 
I am using eQuest to try to model a Passive Chilled Beam system using a Dummy OA zone of SZRH and Fan Coil Units in the zones.
I specified the Dummy zone for only OA treatment without any internal loads, and set COOL-CONTROL as CONSTANT,
COOL-SET-T as 59 oF(15oC). Because CB won't kick in untill the room temperature is above 15oC with AHU.
There is one AHU for the Dummy zone.
Then for all the actual zones, I specified FC with OA-FROM-SYSTEM as dummy zone.
There is a sparated loop (chilled water temperature of 14oC supply and 17oC return) defined for the FC.
As my understanding you can remove the Fan energy of FC then the energy consumption of FC will represent the actual loads for passive chilled beam. And the Dummy OA zone of SZRH will deal with constant OA load.
Am I right, anything I missed for the assuption.
My problems are:
1) warning message in SIM file saying "Preheat/heating-capacity is too low to provide the requested supply temperature for the
   calculated mixed air temperature...". Although I used auto sizing for the heating capacity.
2) What is the different impact if I specify the actual zones as FC from IU. 
3) I did some test runs of FC and IU. The results indicated heating energy consumption of IU was 10 times as FC.
4) The test run of passive chilled beam shows the cooling and heat rejection energy goes 50%, pump goes 25% up
    than the conventional VAV. And Fan became only 20% of the conventional VAV.
    The result is quite different from my expectation and some reference. I am expecting similar cooling and heat rejection figure but
    apporx 150% of pump, 50% of fan energy than the conventional VAV.
Any comments would be appreciated.
Thank you in advance.
 
Kind Regards,
Vickie
