That parameter is used in the zone sizing calculation to determine the volume of air required to cool the zone to the zone thermostat setpoint temperature at design conditions. If you use any sort of auto-sizing capability in your simulation, this is a very good chapter of the documentation to familiarize yourself with.

So it is kind of like what you would want the air temperature to be supplied at to over compensate for the load? Is this a calculation I need to do?
