outside air flow rate does not match cfm specified under systems tab in EnergyPlus

Hello,

I am relatively new to Openstudio/Energyplus and have run into some problems recently:

I am trying to specify the OA flow rate under the systems tab in OpenStudio, but when I run the model the results show that the zone mechanical ventilation current density flow rate does not match what I specify. I have put in cfm numbers for minimum outdoor air flow rate and maximum outdoor air flow rate under the OS:Controller:OutdoorAir object. Is there another control switch that I have to turn on to hard size the OA flow rate?

Thank you in advance.
