[Bldg-sim] Modelling of ceiling fan

[Jon Hand]

I would take a different approach - concentrate on comfort reporting.  Not sure
if E+ reports Fanger PPD or PMV but you could do this in ESP-r by cranking up the air
velocity used for comfort calculations.  And impose high heat transfer for convection
either via fixed heat transfer coefficients or a fan hc regime.  This might allow you
to avoid CFD.

Dear All,

Is it possible to model the effect of ceiling fan on thermal comfort
conditions in Energyplus for hot and dry Indian climates.

Thanks in advance for any suggestions.
