It depends if your are using constant flow or variable flow with fixed proportions.
For constant flow:
I believe your application actually warrants using an AirTerminal:SingleDuct:ConstantVolume:FourPipeInduction
, for which you'll set the Induction Ratio
to $\frac{80\%}{20\%} = 4$. If you don't have a heating coil in your terminal unit, you might have to include one anyway and zero it out, as I believe it's required.
For help and examples:
- This object is available in the OpenStudio Application as of 1.9.0 (release candidate right now) if you need help setting it up.
- The example file
5ZoneFPIU.idf
uses one of these.
For variable flow
Probably try to debug your error, using a VAV terminal and a ZoneHVAC unit is likely the way to go.
