Hello all,
I am trying to model a demand controlled system for a space where the occupants frequently surpass the original design numbers.
I am using the Air Terminal:Dual Duct:VAV:Outdoor Air component in CurrentOccupancy mode and a Design Outdoor Air Specification with a Flow/Person value. The problem is that despite any limits I have set on the air loop's maximum outdoor air flow, including a maximum flow limit on the dedicated outside air branch (which is supposed to supercede any other branch component's max allowed flow), the terminal keeps increasing its outdoor air supply to account for the extra occupants.
What I'm trying to do is have the terminal add the outdoor l/p/s value for each extra person up to the system outdoor air limit and then keep providing this amount even if more people come in. Instead, the terminal increases its outdoor air flow without any regards to the system limit.
Any suggestions on what I'm doing wrong?
