[EnergyPlus_Support] Home ventilation system



Hi all

I am a new user to EnergyPlus and am looking for a way to model a
standard home ventilation system. This is one where a fan draws air from
the roof cavity and sends it to the living space of the house, inducing
a positive pressure flushing out stale air through natural cracks.

The amount of HVAC options is immense and I am wondering if this is far
too complex for what I am needing to achieve? A standard home
ventilation system does not heat, cool or treat the air in any way. It
simply draws air from the roof cavity (through a flexible duct) and uses
a fan to send this (through more ducting) to the living areas.

Could this be best done using the "ZoneMixing" field under the "Zone
Airflow" heading?

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Thanks
