#model_modify_oa_controller(model) ⇒ Object

lab zones don’t have economizer, the air flow rate is determined by the ventilation requirement

#reset_fume_hood_oa(model) ⇒ Object

For fume hood, the OA rate varies with the fume hood schedule So add “Proportional Control Minimum Outdoor Air Flow Rate Schedule” at the mean time, modify “Outdoor Air Method” to “ProportionalControlBasedOnDesignOARate” in Controller:MechanicalVentilation of the DOAS
