Hi,
I have a theater space which has one single zone AHU serving the stage area and one single zone AHU serving the seating. I had modeled these as separate single zone AHU's using the 62.1 calculator however the stage is only provided with 7.5l/s/person which equates to 75l/s. Due to the size of the stage the 62.1 people and area (0.3l/s/m2) rate means 250l/s is required. There is more than enough outside air provided to the seating but does the outside air provided by the stage AHU need to be increased to comply (e.g. there is no workaround with the spaces being open to each other)? There are not fans specifically pulling air from the seating to the stage just the general mixing of the spaces being open to each other.
Thanks
Victoria

I'd put it all on one entry and sum the OA flow rates. If the area rates are the same, then just input the total number of people for the spaces manually.
Make sure you are exempt from the DCV requirement in 90.1 section 6.4.
