Re: [EnergyPlus_Support] infiltration

[HSIEH Chun-Ming <chunming@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Here we discussed the A, B, C and D values of infiltration/ventilation 
equation.

1. But, do you have any idea about how to set the Design Volume.
It might depend on the how much area of window is opened and the wind 
speed outside, right?
I am not sure. Do we have any simple way to calculate the value of 
Design Volume?
It's hard for me to imagine that how much the value should be?

2. The design volume of Ventilation with windows opened should be much 
higher than that of infilation , right?
by the way, except the Delta T, the calculation in infiltration and 
ventilation are the same, right?

Thank you very much.
