[EnergyPlus_Support] Balanced Ventilation System for a Single House

["Elreq" <tolteca33@xxxxxxxxx>]

Dear Forum,

I want to module a single house with two floors, the first floor has
two zones and the upper one 4. The idea is to simulate a forced
ventilation system, that has air intake that is distributed in all
zones except for one zone in the upper floor and one in the ground
floor. In this two zones there must be two air outlets that take the
air back to the outside air mixing box where there is a heat recovery
system. I used the direct air object but the problem is how to make
that the air that is coming inside in the zones does not go out in the
same zone but instead it flows to the zones where the air outlets are
located. With the direct air is possible to define the amount of air
coming into the zones, but then this air goes out again through the
outlet node of the zone, and I dont know how to make that all this
inlet air goes to the zone where the air outlet is located. I have
also used the mixing object and tried to specify what I just mentioned
here, but in the results I still see that all the air coming from the
inlet nodes of the zones goes out through the outlet node of the same
zone. I thought about defining the inlet nodes of the zones where the
air outlets are to be the outside nodes of the other zones, but it
does not work.

Any suggestions strongly appreciated.
