When is Outside Ventilation needed?

During standard occupied times, outside ventilation should be set On to open the outside air damper and provide proper ventilation of the space based on the Minimum Damper Position, or on CO2 Threshold (Demand Ventilation).

Tip: When creating standard occupied/unoccupied schedules, disable Outside Ventilation during unoccupied hours to prevent cold outside air to enter the building after-hours.
