Hi, in general your assumptions are right. May you want remember that in Detailed energyplus simulations Fan consumption refers to actual air density, so the equation fanPressureRise*fanFlowRate/fanEfficiency using Standard Air Densiry will give you not the exact fan consumption, but a very close value (depending on the climate). But what I'm asking is (that could affect the results more than the previous consideration):

  • Supply and Outdoor air are via two diffeernt systems (e.g. FCU + DOAS), or could be in a single AHU?
  • Both cases have impact on DeltaPressure hypotesis, that directly affect the resuslts
