Hi Jean:

 

Is Airflownet a program?  Can you tell me where it is available from?

 

Thanks,

 

MIke

Subject: [EnergyPlus_Support] warm up convergence

 

Hi Everyone,

I have a small building with many envelope doors that open and close a lot in the mornings and evenings. I'm using calculated natural ventilation Airflownet which shows up to 6 ACH during these times. The building has a very thick slab. Are the convergenge errors expected? I would guess yes. What implications does non-convergence have on modeling accuracy?

Regards,

Jean
