ventilation in ideal loads

I have seen in various other questions (e.g. here and here) and even in energy plus report itself that ventilation loads are not included while performing simulation with ideal loads system. However, when I change the DesignSpecificationOutdoorAir for a single zone test I did with ideal loads, cooling and heating loads also change by roughly what I would calculate manually for the sensible part of ventilation. Thusly I assume that the sensible part of ventilation is also reported in HVAC sizing summary. I would appreciate if someone could confirm or refute this finding! thank you!
