Revision history [back]

From inspecting the idf files, I see one problem (with or without EMS).

ZoneHVAC:EquipmentList,
SPACE1-1 Equipment,      !- Name
ZoneHVAC:AirDistributionUnit,  !- Zone Equipment 1 Object Type
SPACE1-1 DOAS ATU,       !- Zone Equipment 1 Name
2,                       !- Zone Equipment 1 Cooling Sequence
2,                       !- Zone Equipment 1 Heating or No-Load Sequence
ZoneHVAC:TerminalUnit:VariableRefrigerantFlow,  !- Zone Equipment 2 Object Type
SPACE1-1 TU,             !- Zone Equipment 2 Name
1,                       !- Zone Equipment 2 Cooling Sequence
1;                       !- Zone Equipment 2 Heating or No-Load Sequence

See how the DOAS terminal unit (2) is set to be simulated after the VRF unit (1). This is backwards. The DOAS terminal unit should be simulated first so that the VRF (or any other type of controllable zone HVAC equipment) can see the impact of the DOAS flow on the net zone load. Trade the 2's and 1's in all of the ZoneHVAC:EquipmentList.
