[EnergyPlus_Support] Window opening using Airflow Network or Zone Infiltration in EnergyPlus

[Abdul Murad Zainal Abidin <zabdulmurad@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hello,

 

I have a single zone with a window that is opened at intervals to represent infiltration. The zone is fully air-conditioned and is at a negative pressure so that a portion of air from outside will come into the room. I specified that portion of air in the Zone Ventilation using air change  per hour as flow method.

 

My question is, instead of specifying in the Airflow Network (for the sake of making calculation simple), is it sufficient to represent the air coming through the window using Zone Infiltration even though there is no opening factor and venting schedule?

 

I have also attached the idf file for your kind feedback.

 

Thanks for reading.

 

Murad
