Implementing @Archmage tips on actuating the Mass Flow Rate for the AirTerminal:SingleDuct:Uncontrolled
and sensing the zone output, it was still not working.
I actually started investigating whether it was some kind of sizing problem. Here's what I did to make it work:
- Removing for the cavity the
Controller:MechanicalVentilation
. This had a problem because I never defined a space type for my Cavity (which is like a plenum...) and therefore does NOT have aDesignSpecification:OutdoorAir
object associated with it - Removing the sizing:zone (my zone is a plenum effectively), and,
- Hardsizing the flow rates of the
AirLoopHVAC
,Controller:OutdoorAir
and the ATU. Not sure if I need to hardsize all of that...
I think the real problem was the Controller:MechanicalVentilation
one and it is probably deeply related to this issue: Controller:OutdoorAir Field: Minimum Fraction of Outdoor Air Schedule Name
For the record, actuating the Fan mass flow rate instead of AirTerminal:SingleDuct:Uncontrolled
mass flow rate does NOT work.
