Re: [EnergyPlus_Support] corridors

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

You have two options.  One is to use MIXING or CROSS MIXING to exchange air 
between the office and corridor zones.  You must determine an appropriate flow 
rate and schedule.  The other option is to set up a COMIS network to model the 
infiltration and mixing flows induced by the wind.  I would suggest the first 
option unless you have need of a detailed natural ventilation model.
