#air_loop_hvac_apply_multizone_vav_outdoor_air_sizing(air_loop_hvac) ⇒ Object

TODO:

move building-type-specific code to Prototype classes

Apply multizone vav outdoor air method and adjust multizone VAV damper positions to achieve a system minimum ventilation effectiveness of 0.6 per PNNL. Hard-size the resulting min OA into the sizing:system object.

return [Bool] returns true if successful, false if not
