[EnergyPlus_Support] Re: Calculation method of heat loss due to mechanical ventilation

Dear Xiangjing,

Thanks for your answer.

I already found this equation and the heat loss is equal to d(m_inf)/dt * C_p * (T_infinite - T_z) = heat transfer due to infiltration of outside air. 
However, I can't find how EnergyPlus calculate the C_p of moist air and the d(m_inf)/dt. For this last item, I need the air density value but mine are different from those calculated by EnergyPlus.

Regards

Robin GENOUD

In fact, I have a constant mechanical ventilation rate set and I can't calcul on my own the same heat transfer as retourned by EnergyPLus. Indeed, I started by calculating the outdoor air density with the dry temperature, the atmospheric pressure and the relative moisture, but I already find different values. I used the magnus formula for the vapor saturation pressure, but my values are approximatively 0.1 kg/m3 higher.
