Hello, I have used Class list ZoneVentilation:DesignFlowRate for Building energy modeling but in the result I am not getting the the amount of load has been added because of ventilation. It is showing increased load of Heating and cooling in the result of simulation.

Thanks in advance

You need to request the output variables first.

To check for the total ventilation load, you can try requesting the following output variables :

Zone Ventilation Sensible Heat Gain Energy

Zone Ventilation Sensible Heat Loss Energy

Zone Ventilation Latent Heat Gain Energy

Zone Ventilation Latent Heat Loss Energy

and if you subtract the total(sensible+latent)gain - total(sensible+latent)loss, you should get the total ventilation load.
