[Bldg-sim] Infiltration

[Nick Caton]

That's typical in my experience.

 

Infiltration is figured primarily based on temperature and pressure
differential (wind speed vs.interior pressurization) across an exterior
surface, among other things.  Lacking any exterior surfaces, I would
presume any "interior cross-zonal infiltration" is generally negligible,
unless you might be dealing with a large positively pressurized
unconditioned space...?

Hello,

While performing energy modeling, I am guessing it is enough if we
account infiltration just for the zones in contact with the exterior
environment? Am I right?
Or do we have to include interior zones in infiltration calc?

Thank you.

Regards,
Vinay
