DCV doesn't work [OA introduction doesn't decrease according to people occupant]
I am trying to implement Demand Control Ventilation for the building with FCU and PAU.
I referred to ExampleFile/HeatPumpSimpleDCV.idf file provided by EnergyPlus.
However, when I look at result, I cannot see OA reduction according to people occupants as shown below image.
Does anyone know what cause this problem?
I also attached the setting for Controller:OutdoorAir
and Controller:MechanicalVentilation

For the "Dormitory Ventilation" Design Specification OA object is the "Outdoor Air Flow per Person" field a non zero value, and is the "Outdoor Air Method" set to sum or flow/person?
@David Goldwasser I added
DesignSpecification:OutdoorAir
for Dormitory Ventilation. I confirmedOutdoor Air Flow per Person
andOutdoor Air Method
and seems no problem.
