Re: [EnergyPlus_Support] Naturally Ventilated Corridors

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

If modeled as exterior, the adjacent walls will see the outdoor dry 
bulb (ODB) as the air temperature.  If modeled as a zone, the 
temperature could be significantly different from ODB.  The choice 
would depend on how open this space is to the outdoors.

If you model it as a zone, then you can use VENTILATION or the COMIS 
airflow model and it's objects to model the outside air flow into the 
zone.
