Re: [EnergyPlus_Support] natural ventilation with stack effect

["Michael J. Witte" <mjwitte@xxxxxxxx>]

Lei:

If you make the sunspace a separate zone with windows on both the 
exterior and interior walls, solar radiation will be transmitted 
through both sets of windows into the next zone.  

You can use the COMIS airflow model to simulate stack effect 
ventilation.
