(OP)
I'm new here. I have a single zone men's locker room for industrial plant, 200 people +/-, plus showers, toilets and urinals. I'd like to use 100% outdoor air a/c unit with modulating hot gas by pass and energy recovery wheel. I want to select the preferred room temperature control system. I believe air recirculation is not allowed per Building codes. I believe single zone variable volume control (to provide minimum required outside air is way to go with room temperature reset. Any comments?

You are correct, air from a toilet or shower room cannot be returned to an AHU and circulated back into the building. However, this does NOT mean you need 100% outside air. IMC and ASHRAE 62.1 will guide you in determining an adequate amount of EA to provide (Note: NOT SA or OA). Hint, it's not based just on the number of people.
Lastly, for a toilet/locker room, and they way codes are written, it is more important to maintain a minimum EA rate than SA/OA rate.
