Thermal Loads inside Open Studio and Energy Plus Results

Hi Everyone,

In the Open Studio result *.HTML, I get a big difference between the load calculations and the system size. Almost double. I need to clarify that the model doesn’t have any ventilation/economizer or infiltration rates ( For testing proposes). Using SZ Heatpump my open studio output defines some Minimum and maximum Outdoor air. Why there is a Maximum if everything is set to zero. This is possible to view "Controller:OutdoorAir" (https://drive.google.com/file/d/1fKjkNf3x5DrL2BQfm75SQQ97Ofni9rT2/view?usp=sharing)

Also, the load is specified as hardcoded. I would like to understand better the source of this number and how it gets calculated.

Thanks!
