Hello,

I tried to put a cooling limit capacity to the object ZoneHVAC:IdealLoadsAirSystem on the idf input file but in the results the limit seems to be exceeded. I had no problem with the heating capacity limit.

The ZoneHVAC:IdealLoadsAirSystem is defined as:

ZoneHVAC:IdealLoadsAirSystem,
ZONE+00_+01_+00 Ideal Loads,    !- Name

;                         !- Latent Heat Recovery Effectiveness

(remark: the problem is increased when there is heat recovery)

The TDS gives these results: image description

Thank you for your help.
