Re: [EnergyPlus_Support] infiltration rate

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

This would be an ideal application for the COMIS airflow model.  See example 
files 3zvent.idf and 3zventAutoCalcOfWindPressureCoeffs.idf  The COMIS airflow 
model will calculate wind and buoyancy induced airflow through cracks and large 
openings (such as open windows), and the window openings can be scheduled.
