A series of actuators called “Sizing:Zone” is available. These offer a way to override the results of zone sizing calculations. The unique identifier for each is the name of the Zone Input object. The following control types are available:
Zone Design Heating Air Mass Flow Rate (kg/s)
Zone Design Cooling Air Mass Flow Rate (kg/s)
Zone Design Heating Load (W)
Zone Design Cooling Load (W)
Zone Design Heating Vol Flow (m3/s)
Zone Design Cooling Vol Flow (m3/s)
