Re: [EnergyPlus_Support] entering residential thermal distribution efficiency

>From what I gather in the InputOutput reference and Engineering Document, the new Air Distribution System essentially can completely replace COMIS in creating an air flow network throughout the building and is even better since it can include the effect of mechanical ventilation. Am I wrong in this assumption.  If I redue my entire COMIS inputs into ADS and include my system and duct information, the model can calculate the air flow due to infiltration and air circulation.  Conversely, is ADS just specified to incorporate the effect of duct leakage and COMIS can still be used seperately to determine the effect of infiltration.  In other words, when using ADS, should it completely replace COMIS or can you use them both: ADS for duct loss calculations and COMIS for infiltration effects.

Thanks

  A feature just added in V1.2.0 should help you a lot!

  Take a look at the ADS objects, IO Ref description and Engineering Doc 
  explanation.  ADS -- Air Distribution System.  There is also a residential 
  example file (ADSModel_House_1.idf) that should help get you started.
