If a zone has a large exhaust fan which the exhaust rate is greater than the OA intake at the AHU (the rest of OA will be transferred from other zones , make up air, or infiltration).
Baseline ODA requirement for +30% Vent
NC-2009 EAp2:Minimum Energy Performanceposted by Jean Marais on
This question came up and I want to refresh my memory. The baseline model must ALWAYS (baring DV) have the same ODA as the Proposed Design...also when the Proposed Design is applying for the increa
