What does EF-01 mean?

Exhaust fans run while the supply fan is off.

Why does it matter?

The building goes negative and draws unconditioned, unfiltered air through the envelope, doors and flues.

What should you do?

Interlock exhaust with supply, fix the schedules, and check for exhaust fans on local switches left on.
