[bldg-sim] Retail Store Infiltration

[shruti narayan]

The percentage of infiltration through a retail door could be determined by 
using ASHRAE fundamentals, chapter 26 (refer to page 26.25, 2001 
fundamentals). You can use the equations and the referenced graphs to 
calculate the flow.

The infiltration would depend on
1. the door area
2. the fraction of time it is open
3. and also an estimate of the number of people who would be using the 
door/hour (an approximation based on the retail space area being modeled 
etc). This factor would be the variant over the day and would determine your 
schedule.

(A vestibule might reduce the infiltration).

Hope this helps.

Hello Bldg_simers,

Can anyone point me to any re/sources for diversity factors or schedules of 
air infiltration through doors for a large single retail store?

I am developing a DOE2 schedule and would like to have some practical 
numbers to start with. If anybody has a method to determine such factors or 
any relevant data-sets that they can direct me to that would be great.

Thank you all. Any help will be greatly appreciated.    
Best,
