Re: [EnergyPlus_Support] DOE benchmark example IDF



Yes, that is a preprocessor error when these files were originally 
created. I used a number similar to other benchmark file for my large 
office simulation.

! ***INFILTRATION***
ZoneInfiltration:DesignFlowRate,
GroundFloor_Plenum_Infiltration, !- Name
GroundFloor_Plenum, !- Zone Name
ALWAYS_ON, !- Schedule Name
Flow/ExteriorArea, !- Design Volume Flow Rate Calculation Method
, !- Design Flow Rate {m3/s}
, !- Flow per Zone Area {m3/s/m2}
0.000302, !- Flow per Exterior Surface Area {m3/s/m2}
, !- Air Changes Per Hour {ACH}
1.0000, !- Constant Term Coefficient
0.0000, !- Temperature Term Coefficient
0.0000, !- Velocity Term Coefficient
0.0000; !- Velocity Squared Term Coefficient
