Re: [EnergyPlus_Support] About Design Volume Flow Rate

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

When using INFILTRATION and VENTILATION (simple airflow method), you must 
calculate the design volume flow rate using other software, handbook formulas, 
or "rules-of-thumb".  

You can also use the AIRFLOWNETWORK simulation to compute flow rates using 
descriptions of openings, flow coefficients, and wind pressures.  See 
AIRFLOWNETWORK SIMULATION, and AIRFLOWNETWORK:MULTIZONE:*.
