OS:DesignSpecification:OutdoorAir Space/ThermalZone Mismatch

The OS:DesignSpecification:OutdoorAir object has normalized flow rates (Outdoor Air Flow per Person, Outdoor Air Flow per Floor Area) and absolute ones (Outdoor Air Flow Rate, Outdoor Air Flow Air Changes per Hour). Spaces and SpaceTypes both reference DesignSpecificationOutdoorAir objects, in this case it is expected that the absolute flow rates correspond to the space. For example, if you have two spaces in one thermal zone and each space references a design specification outdoor air object with absolute flow rates, you will end up with the sum of those flow rates in E+.

Translation of space level design OA objects zone level occurs in ThermalZone_Impl::combineSpaces

However, other objects also reference the DesignSpecificationOutdoorAir object but these are at the zone level (OS:AirTerminal:DualDuct:VAV:OutdoorAir, OS:Controller:MechanicalVentilation, OS:ZoneHVAC:IdealLoadsAirSystem, etc). In this case absolute flow rates correspond to the zone level flow rates.
