How to model System 8 ASHRAE 90.1 - 2016 baseline

I'm modeling a large office building in zone 2A using ASHRAE 90.1 – 2016, in OpenStudio. According to table G3.1.1-4, the system I should use for the baseline is the system 8. I included the system predefined by the program, in autosize mode, with 1 system per floor as indicated by Ashrae. It’s na academic project, so I don’t really have a systema selected. However, it is showing over 1,100 unmet hours. I'm using this standard for the first time and I don't really understand how I should adjust the system values. It’s an academic project, so I don’t really have a system selected. What should I change in the template to lower those unmet hours?
