RE: [EnergyPlus_Support] opening windows

You can try 1 m/s as the comfortable air velocity.  Window unit has a higher air discharge velocity than this.

Multiply this by the window area to get the air flow rate.  Use EPlus to calculate the ACH rate to compare.  Use a Window open schedule to turn on the infiltration object at night.

I think the infiltration object will close the window for you when the external wind velocity is high.

Subject: [EnergyPlus_Support] opening windows


 Hello All

What is the easiest way to open windows?
Lets say that I got a rectangle one zone model with 1 window on each wall.

I want to open 2 windows from 19:00-7:00 at night.
