As @MingboPeng said, you should ask the people who know more about DesignBuilder your question about modeling Ideal Air Load system in DesignBuilder. There is a much higher chance that someone can help you on their forum.

@Mehr

For comparing results between tools (DesingBuilder, EnergyPlus, Honeybee).
I could also recommend the BESTEST (building envelope and fabric load tests)
methodology from ASHRAE 140 standard. It will be very helpful for validating the results.

Both DesignBuilder and Honeybee use the same engine EnergyPlus,
export both models to .idf files and compare them.

BESTEST Honeybee , BESTEST other tools

I probably could have uploaded this earlier, but it is better later than not at all? :smiley:
When I was studying I had a project where I did the bestest cases 600 and 600FF between EnergyPlus and DesignBuilder. You can do the same comparison between Ladybug Tools and DesignBuilder.

You can find the pdf document and related idf and dsb files in this location.
